Antique Colombian Emerald and Diamond Three Stone Ring, circa 1915

Dating to circa 1915, this exceptional three stone ring is a beautiful example of early twentieth-century jewellery. The three stone design has long carried a romantic symbolism, traditionally representing the past, present and future.

At the heart of this jewel is an extraordinary Colombian emerald, selected for its exceptional colour. It is the kind of gemstone that immediately commands attention, with a wonderfully rich and saturated green that is exceptionally difficult to find.

Design & Details

The central emerald is Colombian and minor oil, with a truly superb colour. Colombian emeralds are prized by collectors for their distinctive, vibrant greens, and the colour of this particular stone is quite remarkable.

The emerald is flanked by two impressive old cut diamonds of approximately 0.90 carat each. Their antique cuts provide a softer, more romantic sparkle than modern brilliant cuts, complementing the emerald beautifully without competing with its extraordinary colour.

Together, the three stones create a classic and beautifully balanced composition, full of the charm and individuality characteristic of antique jewellery.

Styling & Wearability

A jewel with considerable presence, this ring would make an exceptional engagement ring or a wonderful addition to an antique jewellery collection. The combination of vivid green emerald and substantial old cut diamonds makes it equally striking worn alone or alongside other rings.

The ring is currently a finger size L and can be adjusted to fit most fingers.
