.60 Vintage 1960s Emerald & Diamond Cocktail Ring 14k

This mid-century vintage cocktail ring is made from 14 karat yellow gold and features baguette cut diamonds totaling .60 carats with VS2 clarity and H to I color. The baguette cut creates rectangular shapes with step-cut facets that provide clean lines and bright flashes rather than intense sparkle.

VS2 clarity means inclusions are minor and difficult to see without magnification, while H to I color ranges from nearly colorless to faint warmth. Ten square step cut emeralds measuring 2.50mm x 2.50mm each total .50 carats and are set in channels alternating with the diamonds.

The step cut emphasizes the emeralds' rich green color and clarity rather than creating sparkle. The channel setting secures all stones within grooves in the metal, creating a smooth surface that protects the gemstones and won't catch on clothing.

This geometric arrangement of alternating diamonds and emeralds creates the bold, structured look popular during the mid-century period (1950s-1960s).
