Vintage Avon Rhodolite-Tone Emerald-Cut Cocktail Ring

Description:
A large emerald-cut faux stone in deep rose and garnet tones sits high in four sculpted claw prongs, its stepped facets drawing light down into the center like a window into still wine. Avon brought this kind of bold single-stone cocktail ring to everyday jewelry boxes in the 1970s–1980s, echoing fine gem rings at an easy weight. An open gallery lets light through from behind, and split shoulders curve into a smooth band.
