Overview:
Stylish vintage emerald & diamond ring crafted in 19k yellow gold (circa 1980s).
Crafted in Portuguese 19k yellow gold, the ring features beautiful vibrant green emeralds & sparkling diamonds in a bezel set square design. The band is great worn alone as a statement ring with a substantial and luxurious presence on the hand. The band has a lower domed profile and rises 6mm or 0.23 inches from the finger. The ring is very finely crafted in high karat gold and is set with exceptional gemstones and diamonds.
The ring is in very good condition and was lightly cleaned and polished.
The piece was acquired on a recent trip to Portugal, one of Europe's most exciting destinations for discovering exceptional antique and vintage jewelry. Portugal's thriving antiques community, historic markets, and renowned art and antiques fairs provided access to remarkable jewelry with provenance, exceptional beauty and character. Each piece was carefully selected for craftsmanship, originality and history. I am delighted to share these newly acquired pieces. Please shop our site to view the entire collection.
