Emerald Cut Imperial Topaz & Diamond Engagement Ring

This stunning ring features a top-quality natural Topaz in a golden orange hue. As with many gems, this one straddles the line between two color variations: Precious Topaz, the name given to more yellow varieties, and Imperial Topaz, the name given to darker orange, peach, and pink varieties. This stunning gem is a definite gold hue, with a kiss of pink undertone and great saturation, so we call it an Imperial Topaz. The emerald cut Topaz, or octagonal shape, is unusual for the species. It is flanked on either side by a tight-fitting row of four Diamond accents, which adds sparkle and glamour to this mid-century ring design. Crafted as a right-hand ring, this Imperial Topaz piece would certainly make a fitting engagement ring today.

Details: vintage 14k yellow gold ring set with 3.75ct emerald cut golden-orange Topaz (Brazilian, likely heated) and .16ctw natural Diamond accents (VS GH), circa 1970.
