9CT GOLD PRINCESS-CUT EMERALD & DIAMOND RING
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery

Right then, let’s not faff about—this absolute corker of a ring is not here to play nice. This is the ring that turns heads, steals hearts, and probably drinks espresso martinis before noon. Introducing the 9ct Yellow Gold Half Hoop Ring, now starring in its most verdant, drama-filled form: Emeralds.
She’s got nine (yes, nine—because one would be shy and frankly a bit pathetic) Princess-cut Emeralds, each a glorious little 2.5mm square of deep, lush green set in a slightly rebellious off-centre swoosh across your finger. It's like Mother Nature and Beyoncé had a baby, and it came out... jewellery.
These Emeralds are green like envy at a wedding, or green like the Wicked Witch of the West if she did yoga and went to therapy. You get the idea—deep, dramatic, and with just enough blue flash to keep you staring at your hand for longer than you’d care to admit.
To hammer home the glamour, she’s flanked by 22 round-cut white Diamonds—tiny, dazzling sparklets lined up on either side like glittering footmen escorting royalty through a crowd. Emeralds deserve an entourage.
Now, for the nerdy-but-important gemstone bit: most Emeralds get a bit of oil TLC to smooth over natural inclusions. It’s standard. But beware of dodgy dyes—like a bad fake tan, they look great until it rains. I source only stones that conform to grown-up ethical and gemmological standards. If it’s in my shop, it’s passed the sparkle test and the integrity one.
Let’s get practical:
-
Fully hallmarked for London (because standards matter).
-
UK Sizes J to Q.
-
2.9g of green goddess vibes.
-
Not suitable for resizing. Honestly, the setting is so intricate that it might cry if tampered with. Know your size. Be sure. Measure twice, sparkle once.
And if Emeralds aren’t your vibe (which, OK, fine... interesting choice), this beauty also comes in Ruby or Sapphire. Because I’m generous. And maybe a little bit addicted to gemstones.
💚 Packaging? Comes in a chic, fully recycled ring box.
💚 Shipping? Oh, baby—worldwide and free via DHL. Glamour shouldn’t need a passport.
