Victorian Emerald and Old Mine Cut Diamond Ring

The Story

Sitting at the center of this Victorian era ring is a 1.50-carat Cushion Cut Emerald . The stone displays the highly prized, velvety “jardin” typical of fine Colombian material, offering a lush, verdant green saturation that glows intensely against the gold setting. Securely held by distinct double-claw prongs, the emerald is protected while remaining the focal point of the design. The Diamonds Flanking the emerald are two substantial Old Mine Cut Diamonds These hand-cut stones feature the characteristic high crowns, small tables, and open culets of the era. Unlike modern machine-cut diamonds, these “cushion-shaped” antique diamonds were cut by candlelight to maximize brilliance in low light, delivering a romantic, chunky sparkle and bold fire that perfectly balances the smooth glow of the emerald. The setting is crafted in rich, buttery 18k Yellow Gold, the mounting is substantial yet elegant. The gallery features a classic open-back design to allow light to pass through the stones, while the band tapers gently toward the shoulders, drawing the eye inward. The low-profile setting makes this ring exceptionally wearable for daily enjoyment, whether as a unique engagement ring or a signature right-hand piece.
