2.00ct Colombian Emerald and 2.20ct Diamond, 18ct Yellow Gold Dress Ring - Antique Circa 1890

Description This stunning, fine and impressive antique Colombian emerald ring has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold with an 18ct white gold setting. The pierced decorated setting is ornamented with a stunning 2.00ct octagonal cut Colombian emerald collet set to the centre of the design. The feature emerald is encircled by twelve Old European round cut diamonds, collet set in 18ct white gold. The trifurcated, scrolling ring shoulders integrate with the main setting and amalgamate at a bi-lobed design to meet the plain ring shank. This stunning antique Victorian Colombian emerald ring has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18ct gold. The ring is supplied with an emerald report from the Gemmological Certification Services London, in addition to an IDGL diamond grading report card for the supporting diamonds. 'Rather than regarding inclusions in coloured stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics.'
