A Late Victorian Emerald And Diamond Carved Half Hoop Ring

Description

A late Victorian emerald and diamond carved half hoop ring, the three graduating emerald-cut emeralds, estimated to weigh a total of 0.6 carats, and two old brilliant-cut diamonds, estimated to weigh a total of 0.6 carats, with rose-cut diamonds set inbetween, all claw set to a carved gold mount, circa 1890, the head measuring approximately 0.5×1.8cm, finger size N 1/2, gross weight 4.2 grams.

A very pretty emerald and diamond ring. This ring was made in the late nineteenth century and is an excellent example of the half-hoop style that was popular at the time. The three emeralds set in this ring are a bright crème de menthe hue and are perfectly complemented by the two scintillating old-cut diamonds. Further twinkling rose-cut diamonds are set between all the stones, adding further sparkle. The stones are set to a carved gold scroll mount, which adds warmth and detail to this lovely piece.
