Untreated Emerald Ring c1920

Untreated Emerald Ring c1920

This stunning emerald, cut in the simplest manner to show off its inner beauty, is enhanced only by its exquisite deco filigree setting. Most emeralds are treated for a more vibrant color and most commonly to fill in any fractures. They are so inherently fractured and riddled with natural inclusions that we honor their inclusions by deeming it their 'garden' and showing it off in a minimally faceted cut. However, fractures are not exalted and jewelers routinely fill them with glass or wax to reduce their appearance, making completely natural emeralds like this a real rarity. This 1920s Colombian emerald weighs about 1.20 carats and is set in beautifully handcarved 18k white gold filigree. It is currently a size 4 and may be resized up or down upon request.
