Why You'll Love It
This charming ring brings together two enduring favourites—emerald and diamond—in an elegant half-eternity setting.
The emeralds provide beautiful green colour while the alternating diamonds add subtle sparkle. Its delicate proportions make it particularly attractive for someone who loves understated vintage jewellery.
Emerald is also the traditional May birthstone, making this a meaningful birthday, anniversary or sentimental gift.
💚 Important Emerald Characteristics – Please Read
As is common with many natural emeralds, these stones display visible internal inclusions traditionally known as “jardin.”
Some of the inclusions and surface-reaching lines have a fine crack-like or tiny fissure appearance, particularly when viewed under strong magnification or in close-up macro photographs. Minor surface wear is also visible and is consistent with the ring's vintage, pre-owned condition.
These characteristics can appear considerably more prominent in enlarged photographs than they do when the ring is viewed normally on the finger.
We have intentionally highlighted and photographed these features for complete transparency. Buyers who prefer emeralds with a very clean or uniform appearance should take this into consideration before purchasing.
Condition
Presented in good vintage pre-owned condition, with age-related wear consistent with a ring dating from 1987.
The gold band remains smooth and comfortable to wear. The emeralds display internal inclusions, surface-reaching lines/fissures, minor surface wear and some crack-like characteristics visible under magnification. The diamonds retain their attractive contrasting sparkle.
As this is an authentic vintage gemstone ring, it should not be expected to have the flawless appearance of newly manufactured jewellery.
Please examine all photographs carefully, particularly the close-up images of the emeralds, as they form an important part of the description and condition assessment.
A wonderfully characterful 1987 London hallmarked emerald and diamond ring with authentic British heritage and nearly four decades of vintage history.
