Emerald & Diamond Halo Ring

Curator’s Note: “The emerald has the soft, living green that only a natural stone gives, with the fine inclusions that prove it. The diamonds are set high around it, so the whole ring catches the light from every angle. It was made to be worn.”

Story of the Period: In the 1960s and 1970s, yellow gold was back in fashion and coloured gemstones were worn boldly. A single oval stone framed by a halo of brilliant-cut diamonds was a popular choice for a ring marking an engagement, an anniversary or a milestone.
