Piece of the Week: Mindi Mond’s Emerald Ring
This week, National Jeweler editors have emeralds on the brain.
You can’t blame a jewelry editor for feeling emerald-centric lately, particularly when Muzo debuts a collaboration with scores of fabulous contemporary designers.
Another emerald that caught our eye? This Mindi Mond “Piece of the Week” ring, featuring a 6.06-carat Colombian shield-cut emerald set in silver and 18-karat gold with rhodium plating and 2.80 carats of accompanying old-mine cut diamonds.
This mix of modern (the cool fancy shape of the emerald) and antique (the old-mine cuts) is the perfect representation of Mindi Mond’s old-meets-new style.
You can find the brand’s emerald ring, plus loads of other treasures, at its newest retailer, Saks Fifth Avenue.
