Early 20th Century Platinum, Three Stone Emerald & Diamond Rectangular Ring

A smart platinumDerives from the Spanish word ‘platina’ meaning ‘little silver’. Acknowledged since the 1900s, platinum’s durability and natural brightness has been and still is today highly treasured A metallic element prized for its rarity, whiteness, high tensile strength and insusceptibility to corrosion, platinum first became widely used in jewellery in the late ninete… ring that was made circa 1910-1920. It has been set with three square cut emeralds within millgrained settings. The emeralds are a lovely saturated green colour and are well matched. Around the emeralds are well matched bright white diamonds that form a scalloped edge on the ring.  It sits low on the finger and curves nicely around it so it is comfortable to wear.

A pretty engagement or dress ring.
