To call this ring ‘light green’ fails to capture the nuances of its enthralling hue. As it catches the light, panels of soft yellow-green appear, as do barely perceptible hints of blue. The gloriously clear, mirror-like 11.75 carat beryl (same gemstone as aquamarine and emerald) is held by elegant elongated prongs that rise from a crown fashioned with a stylized fleur-de-lys design. The ribbed shank transitions to dramatically flared shoulders that culminate in diamond-set scrolls east and west of the stone, all together creating a stunning, sculptural pedestal befitting this riveting Retro jewel from the 1940s. Total diamond weight, .38 carat. Hand-fabricated in 18K yellow and white gold, it is currently ring size 5 1/2.
