The cluster ring has enriched the history of jewellery for centuries. Such flower-like arrangements are already known from the early modern period. However, cluster rings from the second half of the 20th century are usually characterized by the fact that the center stone is set slightly higher, which ensures that it attracts even more attention. All gemstones are also usually held in place by a gallery of delicate wires, which allows the light to pass through. The stone presented here in this classic manner is a natural emerald weighing just under two and a half carats. Its bright green color is surrounded by a ring of high-quality brilliant-cut diamonds, also totaling 2.50 ct. In the center of the wonderfully green stone are those inclusions that are only found in naturally formed stones and are poetically referred to in emeralds as a "jardin", or garden. This small garden of crystalline structures reveals itself when you look carefully at the smoothly polished table of the gemstone and makes you think of the rainforests of South America, the continent that is famous for its rich emerald deposits. This stone is also an emerald from Brazil. The cluster ring is a piece that no collection of selected vintage jewellery should be without. With its intensely coloured center stone and wonderfully large diamonds, it is a statement piece that is a joy to wear. We discovered this fine ring in Cologne.

The emerald is one of the most valuable gemstones and has always been highly valued in many cultures. The ancient Egyptians recognized the healing powers of the emerald early on, especially its effect on the eyes. Pliny the Elder wrote about it in 77 AD: "When the eyes are weakened, they are strengthened again by looking at the emerald. The soft green of the stone dispels languor". Nero, for example, is said to have worn an emerald as a monocle to strengthen his eyes and Cleopatra is also said to have enhanced her beauty and youth by wearing emeralds.
