A single large emerald-cut stone in deep forest green takes the lead here — the kind of saturated, glassy green that reads as genuinely precious from across the room. Four round clear rhinestones flank it two per side, set into angular silver-tone shoulders that echo the geometry of the center stone. The silhouette is clean and slightly Art Deco in spirit — symmetrical, confident, built around the stone rather than around the setting. One of the more convincing faux-emerald pieces Avon produced.

Two heart-shaped stones nestle together in an offset toi et moi setting — one deep garnet red, one clear crystal — each bezel-set and accented by small prong-set rhinestones at the corners. The toi et moi (you and me) format has appeared in fine jewelry since the 18th century, most famously in Napoleon's proposal ring to Joséphine, and this Avon interpretation carries that romantic geometry into everyday wear. The pairing of red and clear against warm gold is bold without effort. A ring with a love story built into its form.

A deep black oval cabochon sits at the center of a seed pearl halo, framed by a twisted rope bezel and flanked by softly textured gold tone shoulders — a composition that draws directly from Victorian mourning and poison ring traditions while wearing with modern ease. Avon produced some of their most thoughtful designs in this style during the 1970s, leaning into antique revival aesthetics that were having a cultural moment.
