An extraordinary vintage cocktail ring, crowned by a certified 11.24-carat natural greenish-yellow beryl, or heliodor. Authenticated by London’s Gem & Pearl Laboratory, this magnificent oval-cut centre stone is framed by a dazzling scalloped halo of twenty round brilliant-cut diamonds, graded SI1 clarity and H colour. Crafted in gleaming 18ct white gold, the luminous cluster rests upon a dramatic wire basket gallery, ingeniously designed to flood the gemstone with light from every angle.
Heliodor is a golden variety of beryl, the same remarkable mineral family that gives us emerald and aquamarine. Revered since antiquity as a gift from the sun, golden beryl has long symbolised warmth, vitality and enduring joy. Born during the glamorous mid-century cocktail era, this romantic jewel was made to captivate beneath ballroom chandeliers and candlelight, transforming every graceful gesture into a radiant display.
Presented in excellent condition and accompanied by its official gemstone certificate, this breath-taking ring is a truly exceptional heirloom. A luminous ray of golden sunshine, it is a spectacular statement piece destined to turn heads and be treasured for generations to come.
