Condition:
The “Hellébore” ring is in very good overall condition.
The central diamond, beautifully proportioned and lively, displays all the charm of old-cut stones — soft yet radiant brilliance with great depth.
The emeralds retain their vibrant green color and fine transparency, with natural inclusions — the famous “emerald gardens” appreciated by gemologists.
The openwork mount, shaped like a delicate crown, gives the piece lightness and grace.
Though the diamond sits slightly elevated, the ring remains comfortable to wear and does not snag.
The balance between the diamond’s bright light and the emeralds’ rich green lends this ring a singular elegance — both bold and harmonious.
