Vintage Emerald and Diamond Cluster Ring

This is a statement cocktail ring featuring a prominent central oval-cut emerald set in a claw-style mounting. The emerald displays a vibrant medium-green hue with visible natural inclusions, characteristic of the gemstone. Surrounding the center stone is an elaborate, multi-tiered geometric halo of diamonds set in what appears to be white gold or platinum. The accent stones include several round brilliant-cut diamonds and two marquise-cut diamonds flanking the center horizontally, creating a starburst or shield-like silhouette. The metalwork is intricate, with a wide, openwork lattice band that contributes to the ring's substantial finger coverage. The diamonds vary slightly in size, with larger round stones placed at the north and south peaks of the design. While no maker's marks are visible in the photograph, the style and tiered construction suggest a late 20th-century design, possibly from the 1970s or 1980s. The ring appears to be in good vintage condition, showing some light surface wear to the metal and typical crystalline characteristics in the emerald. The craftsmanship is high-quality, utilizing various stone cuts to maximize brilliance and architectural depth.
