This Emerald, diamond, and 14K yellow gold bypass ring, dating to the 1950s–1960s, is a beautiful example of Mid-Century sculptural design. The softly curving bypass shoulders sweep around the center stone with an easy, organic flow. This kind of fluid asymmetry is a hallmark of mid-century design, distinct from the sharper, heavier, and more dramatic bypass styles that became popular in the 1980s and 1990s.
At the center is a natural emerald. The stone displays visible inclusions typical of natural emeralds, giving it life and richness, and a lovely deep forest green. Small diamond accents add gentle sparkle.
The overall effect is balanced and beautiful. This ring would make an excellent alternative engagement ring for someone who is looking to wear a piece of history with a pop of color on their hand!

A Note to Our Customers: All of our vintage or antique pieces have been loved in a previous life. Because of this, you may notice subtle signs of wear consistent with age, a soft patina, or minor surface marks. These pieces have a lived-in character that comes with time. We take great care to photograph and describe each piece as accurately as possible, and will always note anything significant. These small imperfections are part of what makes each piece unique and are a reflection of its history and the life it has already lived.
