A touch of history ... Stunning estate engagement ring with emerald cut Columbian emerald, gem quality.
Antique jewelry object group: rings Country of origin: France Style: estate jewelry Period: ca. 1950 Material: platinum and 18K white gold Extra information: engagement ring - An engagement ring is a finger ring of no generally accepted form that is given by a man to his fiancée as a token of marriage engagement, in the manner of the earlier betrothal ring, and indistinguishable in form or style. In recent years such rings have normally been set with a gemstone, usually a diamond (or any stone other than the ill-\ reputed opal), as a solitaire, of varying sizes, cuts, styles, and cost, but in the 19th century some were set with a pearl. In the same century the custom arose in England of separate engagement ring and wedding ring, and in very recent years such rings have sometimes been made en suite as a matching pair of similar style. In recent years, antique gemstone engagement rings are rapidly gaining in popularity. Precious stones: One natural Columbian emerald (most probably old Muzo mine) with a weight of 2.35 crt (see also certificate) Birthstones: Emerald is the birthstone (or month stone) for May.
