Antique emerald jewellery

Antique emerald jewellery is distinguished by a green gemstone whose inclusions and sensitivity to impact influence the choice of setting. On a ring, pendant or brooch, the claws or surrounding metal must hold the gemstone securely without unnecessarily exposing its corners. The cut with bevelled corners often associated with emeralds helps reduce vulnerability at these points.

Satti Jewelry’s current stock includes pieces from the nineteenth century, the middle of the twentieth century and the Retro period, alongside contemporary creations. Settings, proportions and gemstone combinations provide a basis for comparing these different expressions of emerald jewellery.

Before choosing, examine the hallmarks: they can provide information about the metal and its fineness. Also look at the old gemstone cuts, their facets and their arrangement within the setting. Condition deserves close attention. Metal wear, signs of repairs and the security of the setting are factors to consider, particularly for a ring intended for regular wear. Inclusions alone are not sufficient to establish an emerald’s authenticity.

Complimentary resizing is available for rings only, subject to technical feasibility. Insured delivery is also complimentary. A certificate of authenticity is supplied with each piece. These services apply to the jewellery offered by Satti Jewelry, with resizing dependent on the technical characteristics of the individual ring.
