Antique | Victorian, 18ct Gold, Emerald and Diamond Ring

This uniquely shaped ring is a very interesting take on the traditional three-stone engagement ring. It features a large table in which the trio of stones are set and its overall brilliance is heightened by the paving of diamonds that lend their sparkle to the central trio. They layout of the stones is also atypical, and ventures away from the classic allotment that features a central gemstone that is accentuated by diamonds. With this piece, the central diamond is accented with two emeralds that originate from Columbia. They emit a vibrant leafy hue, that generously complements the sleek white diamond. The jeweller clearly thought outside of the box, and so this ring would be perfect for someone who enjoys jewellery that strays from the status quo. Please view the technical details below.

About emeralds

What is an emerald?Alongside rubies and sapphires, emeralds complete the triumvirate of precious stones.

They are also some of the most historically treasured gemstones, and emerald mining is documented as far back as 1500 BCE, supposedly on mount Smaragdus in Egypt.

Emeralds are a variety of the mineral beryl (which also includes aquamarine, morganite and heliodor), and owe their extraordinary green to chromium impurities.

The most famous sources of emeralds are found in Colombia, with the Muzo and Chivor mines producing particularly important examples. Today, Colombia is still the world's main source of gem quality emeralds, but increasingly mines in Zambia and Pakistan are producing excellent examples.

Due to their chemistry and the way they are formed, emeralds are very rarely without inclusions, and enjoy an enviable position among precious stones in having their inclusions not only accepted, but celebrated.

These various combinations of inclusions, often known as an emerald's 'jardin', can reveal the minutiae of the emerald's formation in the earth and occasionally its precise geographical origin. Due to these inclusions, emeralds are often traditionally treated with oil, which absorbs into fissures within the stone and helps to keep the stone at its most transparent.

Emerald is the birthstone of the month of may, and is associated with the star sign cancer. At 7-8 on the Moh's scale of hardness, emeralds are quite hard, but can be brittle due to their structure, meaning that protective settings are important for everyday wear.
