This stunning antique emerald cocktail ring is hallmarked to the outer surface of the shank with the French maker's mark and platinum mark (dog's head), and has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as platinum.

Its crisp design and vivid contrast also make it a distinguished way to mark personal achievements or enrich a fine jewellery collection with timeless elegance.
NOTE: * This documentation accredits the emerald originating in Colombia (Colombian) and certifies that the gemstone shows moderate amount of oil in fissures; most emeralds undergo clarity enhancements with colourless substances such as oils or resins since they contain surface reaching fissures.
'Rather than regarding inclusions in coloured stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics.'
