The vintage ring features a large flat cut cabochon of mossy green jade claw set into a high cathedral mount tall golden arches elevating high from the finger. Fanned shoulders flanking the stone at the sides split into 3 and a flat band complete this impressive dress ring that is a classic example of the more flamboyant Art Nouveau & Deco designs that enjoyed a revival in the 1960s and 70s.
