Green is the color the eye reads as alive. The Victoria puts a rich emerald-green oval at the center of a vintage art deco frame, ringed with simulated diamonds and set in solid 925 sterling silver — a May birthstone ring with the drama of a period piece and the wearability of something you can genuinely put on every morning.

An Honest Word About the Center Stone
The center is a simulated emerald — a lab-made stone chosen to deliver the deep, saturated green that emerald is famous for, at a price that lets the design be generous rather than cautious. It also brings a practical advantage: at 8–8.5 on the Mohs scale it is harder and considerably less brittle than mined emerald, which is notoriously included and needs careful handling. If you want to understand the difference before you decide, our emerald engagement ring buying guide lays out every option side by side.
The Art Deco Frame
The Victoria takes its geometry from the 1920s: a clean oval center, a bright ring of small accent stones, and worked detail along the shoulders where most modern bands simply run flat. The band itself stays slim at approximately 1.6 mm, which is what keeps a decorative design feeling delicate instead of heavy. Compare it against other period silhouettes in our vintage and antique engagement rings edit.
Green Stones, and Why People Choose Them
Green has become the most requested non-white color in engagement jewelry, and emerald is the reason — it is the shade the eye associates with growth, renewal, and steadiness rather than sparkle for its own sake. It is also May’s birthstone, which turns this ring into a natural birthday or anniversary gift as easily as a proposal. Read the symbolism in our May birthstone guide, or see the whole spectrum in our green engagement rings guide. More designs in the same family live in emerald engagement rings and emerald jewelry.
Solid 925 Sterling Silver, Finished in Rhodium
The setting is solid 925 sterling silver — 92.5% pure silver, the standard for fine silver jewelry — and it carries a rhodium finish. Rhodium is a bright white metal from the platinum family; the finish gives the silver a crisp mirror-white luster and adds a protective layer over the surface, so the metal frames the green stone with real brightness rather than a soft gray.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the emerald simulated or mined?
The center stone is a simulated emerald — a lab-made stone selected for its deep, even green. It gives you the color emerald is famous for with better hardness and none of the fragility that comes with heavily included mined material.
How durable is the center stone?
It sits at 8–8.5 on the Mohs scale, which is harder than quartz and well suited to regular wear. That is one of the practical reasons this stone was chosen for a ring meant to be worn often.
What does 925 sterling silver mean?
It means the metal is 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength — the international standard for fine silver jewelry. This ring is solid 925 sterling silver throughout, not a coating over a base metal.
What is the rhodium finish?
Rhodium is a bright white metal from the platinum family. Every Aquamarise sterling silver ring is finished with it, which gives the silver a mirror-white luster and adds a protective layer over the surface.
Are the accent stones real diamonds?
They are simulated diamonds, also called cubic zirconia or CZ. They are faceted and set like diamonds, and their bright white sparkle is what makes the green center read so vividly.
Is emerald a birthstone?
Yes — emerald is May’s birthstone. That makes the Victoria a natural birthday gift for anyone born in May, as well as a traditional gift for a twentieth or thirty-fifth wedding anniversary.
Why choose green instead of a clear stone?
Color gives a ring an identity. Green in particular is associated with growth and renewal, and it flatters a wide range of skin tones while still looking formal enough for a proposal.
How big is the center stone?
The oval measures 7.0 x 5.0 mm, roughly 0.75 carat by weight. It is a confident center that still sits comfortably under a glove or a sleeve.
Is this ring safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. It is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, and the rhodium finish puts another barrier between your skin and the metal beneath it.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes, with a little care. Remove it for the gym, gardening, and cleaning, keep it away from household chemicals, and it will hold its look for years of regular wear.
Does this work as a promise ring?
It does. The vintage silhouette is meaningful without being strictly bridal, which is why the Victoria is bought as often for anniversaries, promises, and milestone birthdays as for proposals.
How should I clean the ring?
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft cloth or very soft brush. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners and household chemicals, then dry the ring fully before storing it.
How do I find my ring size?
Use the find-your-size guide linked in the sizing section. It walks you through measuring a finger or an existing ring at home; if you land between sizes, most people prefer to size up.
What is included with my order?
Free USA shipping and a gift-ready ring box, so the ring arrives ready to give with nothing else to buy.
