Vintage 18ct Yellow Gold Natural Emerald & Diamond Navette Ring Birmingham Hallmarked 1968 Size N½

The navette cluster is one of the great shapes of vintage jewellery — that elegant pointed oval that tapers at each end, elongating the finger and drawing the eye along its length. This pre-loved 18ct yellow gold example from 1968 is a beautifully composed piece, with natural round emeralds and diamonds arranged in alternating rows across the cluster face, the vivid green of the emeralds punctuating the white brilliance of the diamonds in a pattern that is both rhythmic and deeply satisfying to look at.

Birmingham hallmarked in 1968, this ring carries over fifty-five years of history and all the craft that comes with it. The diamonds total 0.11ct and the emeralds approximately 0.25ct — a generous spread of genuine precious stones set in 18ct yellow gold with a purity of 750, meaning 75% pure gold. Yes, this is real gold and real stones throughout — natural emeralds and natural diamonds, fully hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office. The warm richness of the 18ct yellow gold shank makes the green of the emeralds appear even more vivid by contrast, the whole ring glowing with colour and warmth.

At 3.60g this ring has lovely presence on the finger — the navette cluster sitting lengthways across the hand in that classic vintage style, elongating and flattering in equal measure. It arrives in good condition with wear consistent with its age and character intact throughout, the stones bright and the gold warm and well preserved. A cluster ring of this quality and age, in 18ct gold with genuine precious stones, at this price point is a find that does not come along often.
