with Diamonds, in Platinum
$ 11,500.00
* * SOLD * *
A glamorous, mid-twentieth-century cocktail ring, modeled in platinum, whose showstopping gemstone is a 30 carat, elongated, emerald cut aquamarine. This monumental aqua vibes like a reflecting pool, a portable oasis you can wear on your finger! It is set in a fancy, hand-pierced basket, where it is held securely by four tab-style prongs. Ribbon-like, diamond-set, cathedral shoulders support the aqua, visually, while the ring's substantial, five-wire, split shank offers a strong physical counterbalance. We love this ring for its unapologetic maximalism! The aquamarine itself is exceptionally lovely, with its unusual, serene green-blue color and exceptional clarity.
