Vintage 1940s 6.60ct Emerald Cut Peridot Ring

green emerald cut peridot ring four claw set in an antique ring box
$6,500.00
| /

This striking vintage ring dates to the 1940s and showcases a beautifully proportioned emerald cut peridot at 6.60 carats. The gemstone displays a medium green hue with distinctive rutile-like needle inclusions, adding individuality and quiet character to the piece.

The peridot is secured by four claws and set in solid 18ct white gold, complemented by a refined 2.50mm band. The clean lines of the gemstone pair effortlessly with the classic white gold setting, creating a timeless design that reflects the elegance of the era. 

Jewellery of the 1940s was often defined by confident silhouettes and elegant restraint. In the post war years, pieces leaned towards sculptural forms, crisp lines, and a sense of optimism, a return to beauty and refinement. This ring embodies that spirit, with its bold central stone and considered simplicity. It is a one of a kind piece from the decade, carrying with it the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of its time.

Today, it lends itself beautifully to a range of styling choices. It can be worn alone as a distinctive statement ring, paired with fine white gold bands for a layered look, or even embraced as an unconventional engagement ring for someone drawn to individuality and vintage charm.

This ring is a fine example of mid 20th century craftsmanship and would make a unique addition to any jewellery collection. A timeless design that remains as striking now as it was in the 1940s.
