An antique c1800 Georgian-era collet-set green beryl in 14k rosy-yellow gold. More commonly known beryl varieties are emerald and aquamarine, but in the 18th and early 19th century, these light green beryls were very popular. Nowadays light green beryl isn't commonly seen, as most of it is heat-treated, yielding a blue-toned gem better known as aquamarine. 

As is usually the case with rings from the Georgian-era, the stone was foil-backed to lend greater brightness. Foil-backed stones should not be worn in water as moisture can become trapped behind the stone.

Currently a size 6-1/4 and could be resized in the 4 to 8 range for $75.

Materials

Beryl and 14K Gold

Date

c1800 (Shank is newer)

Condition

Good. Surface wear to stone and metal, and some discoloration to foil backing. As found, but shank is surely a replacement. The back of the gem setting is dented. It's possible the top was part of something else originally.
