A very pretty emerald ring with an oval and two pear-shaped emeralds with 8-cut diamond points between. The colour and clarity (there are always some inclusions) of the emeralds is excellent, and the setting is a hand-made ‘carved’ mount which was popular from the late 19th century onwards. It bears partly obscured 18ct London hall-marks for 1962.

The gold beads have been added either to stop the ring turning on the finger or to slightly reduce the size which is currently UK L – USA 5 3/4 for a fairly small hand but can be altered as required.
