Georgian Emerald Heart Ring with Fleur de Lis

A delicate, Georgian era ring modeled in 14k yellow gold and silver, whose primary gem is an old-fashioned, lobeless, emerald heart. This vibrant, tear-shaped heart is held in a gold cut-down collet, where it is flanked by a pair of silver fleur de lis. Those stylized lilies nest in the ring's split shoulders, and behind them— a design of notches and openwork diamonds that decorate the ring shank, which is slender and reeded. This ring has a smooth, polished, closed back. These early rings are precious and ephemeral. We especially love the floating fleur de lis, here, and the fine, shapely openwork frames that house them.
