Antique Victorian Emerald Diamond Ring 15k Gold

Emeralds are the color of new spring growth, of lucky shamrocks, and fresh scented pine needles. They’re filled with lore as centuries ago they were believed to invoke magic. They were Cleopatra’s favorite gemstone, and she used emeralds in her royal adornments. Aristotle is rumored to have encouraged wearing emeralds to keep sickness away. I can’t say emeralds hold magical powers but I can say they’re mesmerizing, elegant, and enchanting. This antique late Victorian emerald and diamond ring was handcrafted around 1890. The two square emeralds measure 3.8x3.8x1.8 mm and weigh approximately .45 carats. The three diamonds are old European cuts and add up to .75cttw.
