Centring on an emerald-cut diamond weighing approximately 1.00 carat, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds, to an outer surround set with pear-shaped red garnets, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold and platinum, signed VCA. Ring size: 7¾

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the centre emerald-cut diamond is about H to I colour, VS clarity. Other smaller colourless diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Red garnets in the surround are medium deep red colour, eye clean. Signed VCA, but the signature is partially rubbed off. Condition: Vintage ring mount, with engraving to the interior "To Barbara with love.....1969" , signs of wear and abrasions to the metal, overall in good condition.
