The pierced decorated, plain, tapering shoulders blend seamlessly with the plain hallmarked ring shank.

This 1890s emerald and diamond dress ring is supplied with an independent diamond grading report card.

"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."
