Edwardian ring featuring a 1.17 carat emerald bezel set in gold on a platinum mounting. The square design around the stone features circular cut diamonds that extend down the shank. 
Circa 1905.

The bright emerald pops against the geometric setting, but this ring's feminine details and two-tone setting make it distinctly Edwardian.

Diamond and gold mining has caused devastation in areas such as Africa, wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems and communities. Choosing to go vintage, you are eliminating the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds.
