This Victorian style emerald ring is crafted in 14k white gold, weighs 4.9g and measures 9mm wide and 4mm deep. This conspicuous English Victorian style emerald band is inspired by a popular 1890’s late Victorian design known as a 'half-hoop' ring with 'gypsy-set' precious stones interpreted as mounted flush with the metal setting. Exuding classic grace, this brighly-colored ring exposes five well-matched, translucent, bezel-set oval-faceted tapering emeralds all graded a delightful 'rich-green' color and 'fair clarity'. The center-stone weighs 0.50cts and measures 6.07mm long and 4.87mm wide, flanked by a pair of oval-faceted emeralds cumulatively weighing 0.75cts and measuring 6mm long and 4mm wide, in turn embraced by a pair of outer emeralds collectively weighing 0.40cts and measuring 5mm long and 3.4mm wide. This assemblage of vivid-color and distinctively mounted precious stones constitutes an intriguing marquise-shape plaque, enhanced by a finely scalloped gold perimeter sparkling with 0.12cts of bead-set full-cut piqué diamonds graded J-K color. This Victorian-inspired wedding band features an immaculately scrolled, highly ornate gallery extending to substantial shoulders which descend diminutively and merge to form a sturdy spherical band and an easily sizeable shank.

Held in high esteem since ancient times, emerald is amongst the most fascinating gemstones on our earth. Deriving its name from the Greek word 'esmaragdos', this magnificent gemstone of intense, radiant color and great luminosity was regarded by Incas and Aztecs of South America as a 'sacred stone endowing its wearer with good luck and well being'. In other cultures, this vivacious gemstone has for centuries been considered as the color of beauty and endowing constant love, conveying harmony and elemental 'joie de vivre'. Emeralds belong to the mineral family of beryl bearing good hardness, graded 7 to 8 on Mohs' scale of hardness, owing their intense green color to the elements of chromium and vanadium. Mined in Zambia, Brazil, Zimbabwe and Madagascar, the most valuable emeralds derive from Colombia, known for their fine quality and distinction by virtue of their especially fine, shining ‘emerald-green’ color unimpaired by any bluish tint.
