an uncut rough emerald is held tightly by six talon-like prongs, framed by a petal-like, nugget-esque floral setting
it's striking. it's comfortable on the finger. it's beautifully crafted.

in good vintage condition
-this is a spectacular example of an artisan ring that is crafted to be sturdy and appear heavier than it is. the nugget-like petals of the floral setting are hollow, but sturdy and the under gallery of the petals have significant patina
-the stone is a natural, rough, uncut emerald and it has inclusions, quirks, veins, etc — it's rustic, organic, and had a rich green color with plenty of surface imperfections
-the prongs are tightly secured around the stone, but it's safe to assume there is jeweler's epoxy additionally holding the stone in place and preventing it from wiggling in the setting
-14k marking has worn significantly
