About this piece
Emerald mines have been found to date back as far as Queen Cleopatra. Emerald symbolism encompasses not only royalty but also wit, eloquence, and foresight. “The Jewel of Kings” also serves as the May birthstone. Whatever its supposed mystical properties, this gem has long been regarded as a superior jewel. Rare and beautiful, emerald’s stunning green color has also brought it an honored status among cultures worldwide.

Ring size and resizing
Antique rings are one of a kind, so each one comes in the size it was made or last resized to. This ring’s current size is listed in the details above.
Most antique rings can be resized by a skilled goldsmith, though some designs can’t be changed much without affecting the setting. Message us with your size before you order and we’ll tell you what’s possible for this ring.
If your ring needs resizing, we’ll have it done before it ships. Resizing usually takes 7 to 10 days, and we’ll email you to arrange delivery once it’s ready.
Caring for an antique ring
An antique ring has already lasted a century or more, and a little care keeps it that way. Take it off for the gym, gardening, cleaning and swimming. Store it on its own so stones don’t scratch each other. Clean it gently with warm water and a soft brush, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners. Have the claws and setting checked by a jeweler about once a year.
