Vintage 14K Yellow Gold Emerald Ring
Vintage 14K Yellow Gold Emerald Ring
A gorgeous single stone square cut emerald ring tension set in 14K Yellow Gold that is designed to show off the emerald beautifully. The emerald has a deep intense green, with a bluish green hue and natural inclusions present in the stone.
Emerald has been used in jewelry since from at least 330 BC with the first known emerald mines in Egypt. Cleopatra was known to have a passion for emerald, and used it in her royal adornments.
I enjoy Pliny the Elder's (23 AD - 79 AD) description of the colour of an emerald in his Natural History as, “… nothing greens greener”
