Classic Entourage Ring with Emerald and Diamonds, Circa 1915 and Later

Jardin, meaning “garden”—this is the poetic name given to the characteristic crystalline inclusions found in emeralds. Just like its colour and cut, it is this pattern of inclusions that distinguishes each emerald from the next, making every naturally formed stone truly one-of-a-kind. Here, such an intensely green gemstone has been set in a design that echoes the classic jewelry of the Belle Époque. Its “Jardin” is made unusual and intriguing by the many tiny crystal inclusions within the stone. Solidly and compactly crafted, the piece of jewellery forgoes superfluous ornamentation to highlight and center the color of the emerald and the 2.25 ct old-cut diamonds surrounding it. The magnificent green gemstone is set in silver, while the diamonds sparkle in luxurious platinum. The cushion-shaped ring face is connected to a delicate ring band made of yellow gold, which makes it light and comfortable to wear. The ring face was likely created in the 1910s and was fitted with a new ring band in the Netherlands sometime after 1953, as indicated by the hallmark. The ring came to us from Münster.
