DESCRIPTION
This magnificent ring features a square-shaped emerald of Panjshir origin, showcasing a distinguished historical “Old Cut.” Characterized by its high-profile and deep-cut proportions, the emerald exhibits an exceptional volume and vivid saturation. The substantial depth of the stone is a rare trait in historical lapidary, designed to concentrate the richness of the green hue, making it unparalleled among gemstones of its type.
The provenance of this emerald is of particular imperial note, having been originally sourced from a 250-year-old Indian crown. This noble heritage is now preserved in a bespoke mount handcrafted by the celebrated artisan Master Khosravi. The mount is a masterful combination of white gold, platinum, and silver, designed specifically to support the immense verticality of the stone. The rarity of this piece lies in the emerald’s unique physical attributes—its large dimensions, intense “oil-like” color, and remarkable depth—distinguishing it as a singular masterpiece of gemological history.
描述
此枚非凡的玺戒镶嵌一颗产自阿富汗**潘杰希尔（Panjshir）的方形祖母绿。该宝石采用极具历史感的古法高冠深切（High-profile / Deep-cut）**工艺，呈现出饱满的体积感与极佳的色彩汇聚力，令其鲜艳夺目的浓郁绿色呈现出迷人的空间深度。这种追求高度与深度的罕见切割比例，使其在同类宝石中独步藏界。
这颗祖母绿的出身极为显赫，最初镶嵌于一顶拥有 **250年历史的印度皇冠（Indian Crown）之上，后被取下并重置于现有的定制戒托中。戒托由金属艺术大师霍斯罗维（Master Khosravi）**亲手打造，巧妙融合了白金、铂金与白银，旨在完美承托并保护这颗具有极高垂直高度的珍宝。其硕大的规格、摄人心魄的饱和度以及罕见的历史背景，使其成为一件跨越时空的艺术瑰宝。
EXPERT’S NOTE
Panjshir emeralds are world-renowned for their exceptional clarity and color saturation, often rivaling or exceeding the finest Colombian specimens. This specific gem, hailing from an 18th-century Indian royal crown, carries an undeniable historical prestige associated with the peak of the Mughal-influenced jewelry tradition. Master Khosravi’s design pays homage to this antique heritage, utilizing a sophisticated precious metal blend to emphasize the stone’s “inner fire” and monumental depth.
潘杰希尔祖母绿以其超越哥伦比亚矿区的平均净度与色彩饱和度而闻名于世。此拍品因曾隶属于印度皇室冠冕，其历史溢价与文化权重不言而喻，带有浓厚的莫卧儿风格遗韵。大师霍斯罗维在设计戒托时，充分尊重了宝石的古老切割方案，通过贵金属的精准比例调配，平衡了宝石的沉重感，完美呈现了这颗历经两个半世纪沧桑的自然奇迹。
