{"product_id":"emerald-diamond-gold-cocktail-ring-1950s","title":"EMERALD, DIAMOND \u0026 GOLD COCKTAIL RING, 1950s","description":"\u003cp\u003eAN EXTRAORDINARY MIDCENTURY OPERA RING CROWNED BY A BOMBÉ CABOCHON EMERALD, itself surrounded by an elaborate micromosaic of mixed cut diamonds, platinum and yellow gold. A smaller emerald, concealed inside the ring, turns this magnificent creation into a deliciously private secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring, estimated to have been created in the 1950s, carries forward the fantasy of Art Déco while embracing the volume and exuberance of Midcentury fine jewellery. The construction -intensely decorative yet so disciplined- brings flowers, geometry and intricate goldwork into a remarkably coherent composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe principal emerald rises dramatically above the hand, its polished surface revealing a jade shade of green. Below, marquise, pear, carré and round diamonds form an ornate platinum-set garden, interspersed with sculpted gold rosettes, scrolls and geometric details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the principal emerald sits a second oval emerald, surrounded by additional diamonds and visible only from inside the ring. This unexpected detail reveals the imagination and craftsmanship invested in every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWE LOVE THIS RING for the tension between the organic centre and its intricate architecture. The emerald feels elemental and sensual, while the mixed diamonds, floral goldwork and structured shank bring authority. Even the hidden surfaces have been considered, making this a true collector's item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTYLE: Let this ring dominate the index or middle finger. The saturated green looks magnificent against darker hues, while ivory and pale pink reveal a softer character. Use it to intensify velvet and evening fabrics, or offset its romantic decoration with a white shirt, dark denim or other clean, masculine clothes. We advise restrain on neighbouring rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: A matching pair of emerald-and-diamond earrings is available separately through JWL Market. Their shared materials, diamond cuts and goldwork suggest these jewels may have been conceived by the same workshop as elements of a coordinated parure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hidein-fp\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Price Analysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAN EXCELLENT PRICE because reproducing a ring of this gemstone volume, diamond content and construction would be exceptionally difficult today. Its value extends beyond the principal emerald and diamonds, gold construction, and unusually elaborate hidden detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• MATERIAL VALUE: The ring contains a high-domed emerald estimated at 35–50ct, a second concealed emerald estimated at 1–2ct and approximately 3–5ct of mixed-cut diamonds. The 32gr gross weight provides further support. Emerald identity, treatment and weights should be confirmed before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• CRAFTSMANSHIP: Marquise, pear, carré and round diamonds have been integrated with platinum settings, sculpted gold rosettes, granulated details and braided borders. The smaller emerald and additional diamonds beneath the principal stone demonstrate workmanship intended to reward close inspection from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PERIOD \u0026amp; DESIGN VALUE: The design blends Art Déco workmanship with the naturalism of 1950s jewellery. Its unusually complex combination of a monumental cabochon, floral motifs and intricate benchwork gives it far greater distinction than conventional emerald cocktail rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PARURE \u0026amp; PROVENANCE VALUE: The availability of closely related earrings adds important design context and the opportunity to reassemble a possible parure. Both jewels come from an important Italian jewellery archive, strengthening their provenance and collector interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• SECONDARY MARKET VALUE: While signed examples are not directly comparable to an unsigned jewel, they demonstrate the strength of this category. A Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. ring dating to c. 1950, set with an 8.50ct cabochon emerald and 1.55ct of diamonds, carried a $20,000–$30,000 auction estimate. This emerald, diamond and gold cocktail ring offers considerably greater estimated gemstone volume at a meaningfully lower level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• CONDITION \u0026amp; SELLER VALUE: Offered in very good condition by a JWL Trusted Dealer in Italy, with a certificate available upon request, the ring benefits from professional verification options and archive provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PRICE VALUE: Even allowing for unsigned authorship and the need to confirm the emeralds’ identity and treatment, the asking price leaves significant room beneath comparable high jewellery positioning. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind cocktail ring with exceptional presence and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBRAND \u0026amp; PERIOD: Unsigned European workshop, estimated 1950s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: 18k yellow gold, diamond-set platinum, one high-domed oval cabochon-cut emerald, measuring 2.50 x 2cm and estimated to weigh 35–50ct; one smaller oval emerald, estimated at 1–2ct, set beneath the principal stone; mixed-cut diamonds, including marquise, pear, carré and round, estimated at 3–5ct total.
