An original true one of a kind traditionally handmade 1950s modernist unheated untreated natural white emerald (goshenite) solid 18K yellow gold ring, 2.31 carats total gem weight.
This beautiful ring is entirely hand made - a one of a kind custom traditionally handmade piece from the 1950s! The design is both modernist and sensual. Inside a sweeping tear drop of fine gold an array of precious earth mined goshenite is set in an asymmetric cluster. From every angle the ring looks extraordinarily beautiful.
There is 2.31 carats of unheated untreated natural goshenite. There are 11 of these glorious sparkly natural white emeralds each weighing on average 21 points (3.45 x 3.45 x 2.20mm av,). Goshenite is in the beryl family which also includes aquamarine and emerald. Different trace elements in beryl result in the green of emerald and of course the blue in aquamarine etc. Here these wonderful natural goshenites appear colorless to most eyes. To some a very very faint blue can just be made out in some lighting conditions.
This one of a kind ring measures 1" wide and is 5/8" long (25mm x 16mm). It rises 5/16" off the finger (8mm).
On the underside of the ring there is a clear 18K stamp meaning solid 18 karat yellow gold, this confirmed by testing. This ring weighs 6.69 grams.
This iconic and amazing original mid century period one of a kind ring is size 5 1/4 US. It can be resized within a range.
It is in lovely vintage condition and is ready to gift or to wear.

The photos form part of the description. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings.
