An Architectural Emerald and Diamond Statement Ring, c. 1955

This substantial platinum ring, made around 1955 in the Art Deco style, is a robust statement piece with a distinctly architectural presence. A natural emerald of approximately 2.58 ct forms the centre, framed by two old mine brilliant cut diamonds and 28 baguette cut diamonds totalling approximately 2.35 ct. The vivid green emerald and crisp diamond geometry create a powerful contrast, while the older brilliant cuts bring a subtle softness to the bold composition.
