Piece of the Week: Coomi’s Muzo Emerald Ring
The intricate style would make the perfect holiday present.

Coomi is known for its rare, one-of-a-kind pieces, utilizing the designer’s eye for unique materials like ancient Roman artifacts. But the brand’s latest dazzler owes its sparkle to a special gemstone.
The Emerald Star Fire Ring is the product of a collaboration with Colombian emerald miner Muzo.
The ring features a 6.11-carat Muzo cabochon emerald set in textured 20-karat yellow gold, accented with 0.43 carats of diamond and black enamel.
Priced at $45,000, the intricate style would make the perfect present this holiday season and is one of a small number of pieces available as part of the collaboration between the emerald miner and Coomi, as well as a number of other brands.
