A bold emerald bombé dome cocktail ring in 18k yellow gold, the head built as a tall, full half-sphere rising well off the finger and pavé set across its entire surface with round emeralds. The stones graduate slightly larger toward the crown and are held in beaded prong settings worked right up the dome, a giving a continuous field of green. The shoulders taper down into a smooth, wide polished shank, with a little texture from carving where the shank and stones meet. The underside of the dome is built as an open gallery, the back of each stone drilled and exposed for light, giving the stones maximum saturation and brightness. The effect is a bold, saturated ball of green with real height and presence on the hand. This can be worn as a statement piece or as evening wear, with its large, pronounced presence. It's vintagey look and size gives it something to talk about over dinner.
