Emis Beros 18K Gold Diamond & Onyx Ring, Signed, Circa 1970s

A cluster of pavé-set round brilliant diamonds anchors this 1970s ring by Emis Beros, the Harry Winston-trained designer known for bold, sculptural gold work. The diamonds; 0.75 carats total in G-H color and VS2 clarity sit within a fluted gold frame that catches light along its ribbed surface, itself bordered by a smooth oval of black onyx that frames the sparkling center in matte contrast. The interplay of textures; brilliant-cut stones, ridged gold, and polished onyx is characteristic of Beros's design language, which favored strong material contrasts over single-focal-point settings. The ring is signed "Emis" with a 750 hallmark on the interior. At 34 millimeters long and 16 grams, it wears as a genuine statement piece. Condition is excellent: the gold retains a bright, well-kept finish, the onyx shows no chips or dulling, and all diamonds are secure.
