Vintage Emerald Engagement Rings
Our collection of vintage and pre-owned emerald rings spans Victorian times through to more recent preloved pieces, bringing together hand-selected rings from across more than a century of jewellery making. Emerald comes in a remarkable range of greens — from the pale, bright tones of lighter stones to the deep, forest greens of a fine Colombian emerald — and the older rings in our collection feature stones chosen individually for their colour and character, with a richness and saturation that makes each one entirely its own.
Every ring in our collection has been handpicked by one of our family for its quality and beauty.

Stunning 18ct gold emerald and diamond ring, set with an emerald cut emerald of approximately 1.6ct, surrounded by brilliant cut diamonds. The emerald cut was made for emeralds. The broad, open rectangular facets of the cut maximise the depth and richness of the colour, allowing the stone to be seen at its fullest. This one is approximately 1.60 carats of vivid, saturated green, bezel set in gold at the centre of a scalloped diamond border that frames it with real elegance.
Sixteen brilliant cut diamonds, totalling approximately 0.60 carats, are set in individual collets around the emerald in a scalloped rectangular halo — a design that softens the geometry of the emerald cut with a decorative, almost floral border.
The construction is two-tone: a yellow gold shank with a white metal top — consistent with quality jewellery of the 1980s, where white metal settings were favoured for diamond and coloured stone work to maximise the brilliance of the stones. The shank is stamped 750 confirming 18ct gold throughout.

Gorgeous 18ct gold Art Deco style emerald and diamond ring, set with a large approximately 3.4ct emerald cut emerald with brilliant and baguette cut diamonds to each side. The central stone is an emerald cut emerald of approximately 3.40 carats — a cut that was practically invented for this gemstone. This stone has a fresh, bluish-green colour — lighter in tone than a deep forest green emerald.
The shoulder detail is where the Art Deco influence is most clearly felt. To each side of the emerald, a carefully arranged cluster of mixed cut diamonds — brilliant cuts at the corners, baguettes in the centre — creates a stepped, geometric shoulder that frames the emerald with precision and period character. The combination of round and baguette cut diamonds in a structured arrangement is a distinctly Art Deco device, and it works beautifully here, adding diamond brilliance without detracting from the emerald. Total diamond weight is approximately 0.36 carats.
The mount is 18ct gold throughout, stamped 750 and 18k, with yellow gold claws holding the emerald and a white metal surround for the diamond shoulders — a two-tone construction that is both practical and visually effective.

A natural oval cut emerald of approximately 3 carats sits at the centre of this beautiful ring, a vivid, saturated green. Emeralds of this size and colour are genuinely rare — the combination of significant carat weight and strong green colour in a natural stone is something that becomes increasingly difficult to find as you move up the market.
Surrounding it is a single halo of twelve brilliant cut diamonds totalling approximately 1.95 carats, including three further diamonds to each shoulder — assessed as H/I colour and SI clarity, they are well-matched, generously sized stones that provide a brilliant white frame without competing with the emerald for attention. The contrast between the deep green of the emerald and the white brilliance of the diamonds is one of the great combinations in fine jewellery, and in this ring it is executed with real confidence.
The setting reflects the period beautifully. Dating from the 1950s, the ring has the bold, unapologetic presence characteristic of post-war fine jewellery — an era that favoured significant stones in generous mounts, worn to be seen. The emerald is set in gold claws, the diamonds in a white gold collet surround, all mounted on an 18ct gold shank stamped to confirm the metal content.

FAQs Vintage Emerald Rings
5
6
What shades of green do emeralds come in?
1
Emeralds range from pale, bright greens through to deep, forest greens and rich bluish-greens. The most prized stones tend to have a vivid, saturated colour with good clarity, but every emerald is individual — the variation in tone and depth is part of what makes each stone unique.
Are emeralds suitable for everyday wear?
2
Emeralds are a little softer than diamonds, sapphires and rubies, so they benefit from being worn with a degree of care. A ring with a protective setting — such as a bezel or cluster — is generally more practical for everyday wear than one with an exposed claw-set stone. We are always happy to advise on the best option for your lifestyle.

How do I care for a vintage emerald ring?
Our collection changes continuously as our items find new homes, but we usually have rings spanning from the Victorian period right through Edwardian, Art Deco, the 1970’s and 80’s to preloved rings of the last twenty years.
Most can, though it depends on the design and setting. Rings with stones set into the band can be more difficult to resize than those with a plain shank. We assess each ring individually and are happy to advise before you buy.
Emeralds are best cleaned gently with warm water and a soft brush — avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which can affect both the stone and any treatments it may have. Store separately from harder stones to avoid scratching.
Every vintage emerald ring is one of a kind, with a history and character that a newly made ring simply doesn't have. Buying vintage also means no new mining and no new manufacturing — an inherently more sustainable choice, without any compromise on beauty or quality.
Can vintage emerald rings be resized?
Why buy a vintage emerald ring rather than a new one?
