This exceptional late Edwardian ring is crafted in platinum and 18ct gold and centred on a vivid rectangular emerald, framed by old-cut diamonds in a refined, architectural setting typical of the early 20th century.

The ring sits low on the finger and is remarkably comfortable to wear - a hallmark of well-designed Edwardian jewellery, where elegance was always balanced with practicality. The use of platinum allows for crisp definition and fine detailing, while the gold provides warmth and structural strength beneath.

What makes this ring particularly impressive is its condition. Emeralds are notoriously delicate, and it is rare to find an early 20th-century emerald ring that has survived over a century of wear while still presenting so beautifully. The emerald retains excellent colour and presence, framed by diamonds that add softness and balance rather than overpowering the centre stone.

The design dates firmly to the 1910s, a transitional moment between the Edwardian and early Art Deco periods, when jewellers favoured symmetry, restraint, and refined craftsmanship.

A superb example of period craftsmanship. It is elegant, wearable, and increasingly hard to find in this condition.
