How Much is a Antique Emerald Eternity Ring?
The Legacy of Emerald in Jewelry Design
No one liked emeralds and emerald jewelry more than Elizabeth Taylor (or her alter ego, Cleopatra). Emeralds were first discovered in Egypt around 330 BC. The stoneâs name originated from the ancient Greek word for green, âsmaragdus.â According to the Gemological Institute of America, âEmeralds from what is now Colombia were part of the plunder when 16th-century Spanish explorers invaded the New World. The Incas had already been using emeralds in their jewelry and religious ceremonies for 500 years. The Spaniards, who treasured gold and silver far more than gems, traded emeralds for precious metals. Their trades opened the eyes of European and Asian royalty to emeraldâs majesty.â
There are numerous myths attributed to the emeraldâs spiritual powers, like placing an emerald under your tongue will allow you to see the future. But be careful not to swallow the birthstone for May, or that future wonât be so bright!
There are many important (read: large) emeralds in museum collections around the world. The Patricia Emerald, named after the minerâs daughter, is a 632-carat dihexagonal (or 12-sided) crystal that was discovered in Colombia in 1920 and now resides at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington has in its possession the Hooker Emerald, a 75.47-carat Colombian stone. That emerald had been acquired in the 16th or 17th century by Spanish conquistadores and shipped to Europe. It later belonged to Abdul Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire (1876â1909), who wore it on his belt buckle. Purchased at auction by Tiffany Co. in 1911, the Hooker Emerald was set into a tiara and featured in the New York Worldâs Fair âHouse of Jewelsâ exhibit in 1940. Today, it is part of a brooch, also designed by the jewelry house.

Finding the Right Band-rings for You
If youâre shopping for antique and vintage band rings, you likely know that this particular kind of ring is among the most versatile in jewelry.
You donât need a special occasion to dazzle friends with a flashy sapphire band ring or to make a statement with a wide band ring â this accessory knows no boundaries, and many different iterations have materialized over the years. Whether youâre seeking an unadorned modern sterling-silver band ring for everyday wear or dual gold wedding bands for the big day, there are lots of options waiting for you.
On 1stDibs, there are enduring antique wedding bands to be found dating from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Jewelers who were active during the reign of Queen Victoria â specifically, the Romantic period â designed rings with large colorful gemstones and decorative motifs, while the jewelry of the latter era was all about the exquisite diamond, platinum and pearl creations made by such famous names as Cartier and Boucheron. Matching wedding bands, which may reduce the stress of wedding-band shopping if you prefer a traditional route, afford you and your partner the chance to have the engagement ring and wedding bands in the same metal and design.
And because band rings arenât necessarily relegated to black-tie events, theyâve come a long way, design-wise. David Yurmanâs band rings, for example, are well known for their integration of mixed metals, and the celebrated jewelry designerâs powerful silver and gold bracelets, rings, pendants and earrings frequently express his iconic industrial-cable motif.
A simple and chic band ring goes with anything, from the evening gown youâve chosen for a weekend gala to the jeans and vintage tee youâve thrown on for a casual lunch with colleagues. Browse a distinctive collection of contemporary and vintage diamond band rings, gold band rings and other accessories on 1stDibs today.
