Vintage Carved Green Stone & Diamond Floral Cocktail Ring

This exquisite piece is a vintage floral cocktail ring, likely dating from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, given its intricate design and material choices. The dominant feature is a large, carved green gemstone, most probably jade or chalcedony, shaped into a five-petal flower. The stone exhibits a smooth, polished finish with some natural translucency and varying shades of deep to lighter green, indicating natural origin rather than a synthetic material. Each petal appears to be individually carved and then assembled or set into the metalwork. At the center of the carved flower, there are three brilliant-cut diamonds, seemingly set in white metal (possibly platinum or white gold) prongs. These diamonds exhibit good brilliance, suggesting a reasonable clarity and cut, and are approximately 2-3mm in diameter each. The undergallery and shank of the ring are crafted from yellow gold, which displays a textured, almost bark-like or filigree finish, adding to its organic, naturalistic aesthetic. Some sections of the filigree appear to have white enamel or rhodium plating accents, providing a subtle contrast to the yellow gold. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with careful attention to detail in the carving of the stone and the intricate metalwork. There are no obvious signs of major damage or significant wear visible in the image, though a closer inspection would be required to determine the precise condition of the stone (e.g., chips, scratches) and the metal (e.g., dents, repairs). The ring is designed to make a statement, indicative of a cocktail or statement piece.
