Chaumet 7.80Ct Colombian Emerald Signed Ring, via @1stdibs.

Absolutely stunning and important 7.80 ct Colombian emerald, one of the finest examples we have had the pleasure of offering for sale. The emerald is vibrant, intense green, with extremely fine clarity and transparency considering its impressive size. The stone is set in a classic platinum mounting with split prongs and just enough diamonds to add a subtle flash. The mounting has been fitted with an “upside down horseshoe” to prevent the ring from spinning while it is on the finger.

This ring is signed “Chaumet” and is accompanied by its original presentation box. It is in excellent overall condition, a piece truly fit for the finest collection.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Alice was daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt and was well know for her boisterous personality. Amongst other things her smoking caused shock amongst high society. When it was brought to Roosevelt’s attention that his daughter was out of control he is said to have replied; “I can be President of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.”
