Edwardian Revival Emerald and Diamond Navette Ring of 18k Gold

A refined Retro-era, Edwardian Revival ring dating to 1940–1948, featuring an elongated navette-shaped arrangement with a square step cut emerald and old European single-cut diamonds, set in palladium-topped 18K gold. The slender, symmetrical silhouette and delicate diamond detailing evoke the elegance of Edwardian jewelry, while the use of palladium and rich gold reflects the materials and aesthetic of the 1940s. The vivid green of the emerald provides a striking contrast against the diamonds and warm gold beneath the palladium finish.

The ring face measures approximately 1 inch by 0.3 inches wide and weighs 2.67 grams. The ring is currently a size 6.5 and can be professionally resized for an additional charge. It remains in great vintage condition.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 18K gold construction with a palladium-topped finish.

A graceful example of Edwardian Revival jewelry, this ring brings together the elongated elegance of the earlier period with the distinctive materials and craftsmanship of the Retro era.
