Of the three great colored stones—ruby, sapphire, and emerald—the emerald stands out as the most exotic and fascinating. Its green, incomparably intense and brilliant in first-class stones, immediately conjures images of lush vegetation, fragrant tropics, richly flowering meadows, and mysterious forest clearings. Indeed, the most beautiful and precious emeralds primarily originate in the jungle—from Colombia and Brazil. This ring, dating from the early 20th century, features one such exquisite emerald weighing approximately 0.40 ct. The bufftop-cut stone, with a faceted underside and a cabochon-cut top, hails from South America and draws us into its depths like light. Its intense green hue evokes memories of tropical forests. A slight, so-called "jardin"—fine crystal inclusions within the emerald—attests to the stone's natural origin. The emerald is framed by eight individually set cushion-cut diamonds. These diamonds, in the so-called "old mine cut," have a combined weight of 0.70 ct. While the diamonds are set in platinum, typical of the period, the sturdy ring band is crafted from white gold—a relatively new material in the 1920s. This ring is a perfect companion for many occasions. It is also an excellent choice as an engagement ring, as the emerald symbolizes hope. The ring came to us from Austria.
