Edwardian 1900 18ct Gold Emerald and Diamond 0.45cts Cluster Ring

If it was good enough for Cleopatra than it is good enough for us. Emeralds were famously coveted by the Queen of Egypt and for centuries they were considered one of the rarest and most expensive gemstones in the world, especially those of the highest quality. Worn as an engagement ring by Jackie Kennedy, Halle Berry, Zoe Salanda and Olivia Wilde, the emerald complements very well with diamonds to bring out that extra wow factor in the design. As previously mentioned, the diamond cluster ring is gaining in popularity amongst many brides-to-be and antique jewellery collectors, particularly as a choice of gemstones and as a central piece surrounded by clusters of round diamonds. 

This 18ct yellow and white gold emerald and 14 diamond cluster ring totalling 0.45cts ticks all the right boxes. The square cut of the emerald changes the overall aspect of the design making it appear more modern and geometric, however the rub-over setting of the round diamonds including on the shoulders makes the ring more delicate, feminine and sophisticated. As emerald is 7.5-8 on the Mohs hardness scale the bezel provides an added protection to the emerald. 

The popularity of gemstones and the diamond cluster engagement ring is informed by Princess Diana’s iconic Ceylon Sapphire and Diamond Cluster ring in the early 1980s and again when it re-emerged decades later upon the engagement between Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. This style of ring is the perfect symbol of love as well as exuding class and elegance.

Art Deco 18ct/Plat Cape Yellow Diamond 5.90ct and Sapphire Ring

If you love yellow diamonds then you are not alone. From Marie Antoinette in the decorative 18^th Century, Marilyn Monroe during the golden Hollywood years to singer Kelly Clarkson in the 21^st century, the popularity of adorning jewellery featuring yellow diamonds remains extremely popular till the present day. Its allure and rarity contribute towards its distinguished reputation as one of the most sought after coloured diamonds, particularly yellow diamonds of excellent quality and brilliance. It is not surprising that yellow diamonds were once so rare that they were reserved only for the very wealthy, royalty and maharajahs.

Although yellow diamonds are now widely available, nothing beats a yellow diamond of significance. This Early Modern Round Brilliant Cut Cape Diamond dates back to the 1920s and was discovered in the Cape Province, South Africa. 

The term ‘Cape’ was coined in 1870 and denotes the paler yellow hue primarily found in the region. This pale – light yellow diamond weighs 5.90ct with a high clarity grading of VS1. The stunning diamond is set in 4 claw platinum bar setting on a 18ct white gold band. The dainty band allows the diamond to ‘float’ on the finger, allowing the diamond to stand out dramatically.

 

To complement the Cape Diamond it is accompanied by three square cut dark blue sapphire gemstones in a step arrangement on the shoulders, surrounded by mill-grain setting for a subtle vintage appearance to an otherwise modern Art Deco ring.
