Mid Century 10.42 Carat Colombian Emerald Solitaire Ring, Circa 1950

1940 - 1960
Description

An impressive and important vintage emerald ring. The centre stone - weighing a confirmed 10.42 carats and certified as being Colombian with moderate clarity enhancement - is a glowing and bright green. The stone is secured by four double claws within a beautifully detailed gallery, leading to tri-split shoulders to a D-shaped shank. It is incredibly rare to find an emerald of these dimensions and with this quality.

Accompanied by an emerald report from The Gem & Pearl Laboratory stating the emerald shows evidence of moderate clarity enhancement, and is Colombian in origin.

Cut: Cushion.

Clarity: There are some visible inclusions (which is normal and expected in emeralds - especially ones of this size - but these do not detract from the vibrancy of the stone).

Carat: 10.42.

Circa: 1950.

Size: O (UK) or 7 (US). Free sizing available.

Measurements: The emerald is 15.1 x 12.4mm and sits 8.4mm from the finger.

FAQs

Mid-century emerald solitaire rings feature a single central emerald gemstone set into a precious metal band, reflecting the design aesthetics of the 1940s through the 1960s. These pieces often emphasize substantial gemstone proportions, tailored claw settings, and decorative shoulder detail.

Jewellers in the 1950s predominantly crafted ring mounts using yellow gold, white gold, or platinum, securing high-carat gemstones with multi-claw settings. Bands often incorporated hand-finished accents, such as split shoulders or leaf motifs, to balance larger gems.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate metal purity hallmarks or maker marks alongside hand-cut gemstone facets. Natural emeralds from this era commonly display visible internal inclusion patterns, known as jardin, when viewed under magnification.

A mid-century emerald solitaire serves as a standalone focal piece that complements modern minimalist attire and structured tailoring. Wearing additional rings on the same hand is generally minimized to allow the central gem to remain prominent.

Emeralds require gentle care using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, followed by drying with a soft cloth. Ultrasonic cleaners, steam treatment, and harsh chemicals must be avoided, as they can weaken the stone or strip traditional oil treatments.
