In 1930 John D. Rockefeller, Jr. purchased through a private owner a brooch for his wife, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. The brooch, said to be by Van Cleef & Arpels, centred upon a large emerald with mesmerising colour and impeccable clarity.

This superb Colombian emerald embodies the grandeur of the Rockefeller empire

When Abby Aldrich Rockefeller passed away in 1948, Rockefeller turned to Yard to disassemble the brooch. Individual emeralds from the setting were distributed among the Rockefeller children. The centre emerald, weighing an impressive 18.04 carats, was given to David Rockefeller.

Entrusting Raymond Yard with this stunning gemstone, Rockefeller asked Yard to mount the emerald on a ring. Executed with an elegantly understated diamond and platinum setting, the ring was one of Raymond Yard's most important private commissions.

A superlative 18.03 carat square emerald-cut Colombian emerald center stone was set into a signature Winston-style design. The magnificent ring celebrates the House's dedication to impeccable clarity and unparalleled quality.
