Vintage Emerald & Diamond Navette Ring

This bright, lively, crystalline green gemstone is a natural Emerald, set in a lovely vintage ring mounting. In this case, the center Emerald is oval cut but the Diamond accents give it the unusual navette profile, which is similar to a marquise shape. The star of the show here is the center Emerald which is of top quality. The color is a medium-dark green with the slightest touch of blue: just what you want when you think of an Emerald. It is very clean which helps the gem sparkle, and it is only lightly oiled for treatment- a standard and minimally invasive practice. This sets it above the lab created and heavily treated Emeralds so often seen on the market today. The ring mounting features a yellow gold shank and white gold top, where prong settings hold the Diamonds and Emerald securely. While this ring is not huge, it makes up for it with sparkle from the top quality gemstones, and makes an elegant presentation on the hand. This would be a stunning Emerald engagement ring but could also be worn as a right hand or May birthstone ring option.
