What is a vintage emerald band?

A vintage emerald band is a ring featuring emerald gemstones set into precious metal, originating from past decades such as the Edwardian era or the mid-twentieth century. These pieces combine decorative metalwork with green beryl, often accompanied by diamonds in various cluster or linear arrangements.

How do I care for my ring?

Emeralds require gentle handling because they are a softer gemstone compared to diamonds. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals to protect the stone. Store the ring separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching both the emerald and the surrounding metal mount.

How are different periods identified?

Period identification relies on stylistic cues such as geometric Art Deco lines, Edwardian filigree work, or the heavier volumetric shapes of 1940s Retro pieces. Gemstone cuts and metal purity hallmarks also offer reliable clues to determine the approximate age of an individual ring.
