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.
