A magnificent statement of colour and vintage glamour, this gorgeous retro-style Smoky Quartz ring is beautifully crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold, showcasing an impressive 11.00ct emerald-cut Smoky Quartz with the most enchanting colour and presence upon the finger!
Taking centre stage is a spectacular rectangular emerald-cut Smoky Quartz, measuring an impressive 18.4 × 13.7mm an estimated 11.0 carats! Its wonderfully sophisticated colour is a beautiful interplay of soft smoky taupe, warm champagne and delicate mushroom-brown hues, with subtle hints of dusky mauve and golden bronze. In natural daylight, the gemstone reveals an almost ethereal, softly translucent quality, while its beautifully defined step-cut facets capture the light with flashes of warm honey, silvery grey and deeper smoky brown.
What makes this particular stone so captivating is the way its colour seems to shift with the light. At certain angles, it displays a delicate, almost silvery champagne hue, while at others, richer earthy tones emerge, creating a wonderful depth and contrast. Its beautifully polished, broad step-cut facets produce elegant, mirror-like reflections rather than the traditional sparkle of a brilliant-cut gemstone, giving it an exceptionally refined and sophisticated appearance.
The beautiful retro-inspired design is equally appealing. The gemstone is securely held within four substantial, angular yellow gold claws, positioned at its gently cropped corners. These sculptural claws beautifully complement the clean geometric lines of the emerald cut, giving the ring a wonderfully bold yet timeless character.
Viewed from the side, the craftsmanship is particularly lovely. The gemstone is elevated within an elegant, architectural gold setting, featuring an intricate openwork under-gallery and beautifully fashioned shoulders that gracefully rise to meet the central mount. The open-backed construction allows natural light to enter through the underside of the gemstone, enhancing its transparency and bringing those beautiful smoky, champagne and golden tones to life.
The combination of clean geometric lines, sculptural goldwork and an impressive statement gemstone gives this ring a wonderful retro aesthetic, reminiscent of the bold and glamorous jewellery designs of the mid-century period.
Crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold and weighing a lovely 6.84 grams, this ring has a beautiful presence upon the finger. Its warm gold setting perfectly complements the earthy tones of the Smoky Quartz, creating an effortlessly elegant combination of colour and design.
A truly gorgeous vintage statement ring! Bold without being overwhelming, wonderfully sophisticated in colour and full of retro charm. This is a piece that deserves to be worn, admired and enjoyed!
