ABOUT THIS RING

Yes, Marilyn Monroe sang "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend," while wearing a fabulous diamond necklace by Harry Winston, but the extraordinary 1.97-carat *Colombian emerald in this ring by Mr. Winston is in its own BFF category. The gorgeous deep bluish-green stone, held by double claw prongs, glimmers and glows between bright icy white tapered baguettes and crowns a lustrous platinum shank. Stunning! Accompanied by original Harry Winston paperwork and a gemological report from Stone Group Laboratories stating: Minor Clarity Enhancement, Colombia - origin. Total diamond weight, .47 carat. Currently ring size 6 1/2. *This resplendent ring showcases a truly magnificent, old mine Colombian emerald from the renowned Muzo mines. Besides possessing the finest, richest green color imaginable (however, photos can’t do justice) and crystalline clarity, it exhibits a very special property, Gota de Aceita. It translates as Drop of Oil in Spanish. We thank emerald expert and director of operations and sales for Muzo International, Ron Ringsrude for the following: Among connoisseurs and collectors the emerald that exhibits the rare gota de aceite phenomenon is highly prized. First reported in 1945 by gemologist Edward Gubelin, it is a roiled pattern of growth structures that interrupts the light in a delightful liquid-like manner reminiscent of honey or oil; hence the name. In terms of rarity, this phenomenon puts such emeralds in the most treasured and rare categories of collectables; like Kashmir sapphires and Golconda diamonds.

About Vintage Jewelry

Like fine wine, fine jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails. Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old, they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that, but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history of the period.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
