Vintage 18K Matte Gold 2.83 Carat Aquamarine Pear Shape Bezel Dome Ring

A vintage 18-karat yellow gold dome ring carries a 2.83 carat elongated pear-shaped aquamarine, bezel-set on the diagonal across the crown. The gold is finished matte and carved with grooves that sweep back from the bezel into the shoulders, and the polished bezel rim gives the stone its only bright edge. Aquamarine is a variety of beryl, the same mineral species as emerald, and takes its name from the Latin for sea water. The band is at its widest across the top and narrows toward the base, so the ring sits high and broad on the finger with the scale of a statement piece.
