Yes, Constellation. Great find--I had one (colored stones) !
I love the colored stones (ruby, sapphire and diamond) version

My first emerald piece! Green is my favourite colour in gemstones and one day, I’d love to own a gumball of an emerald cabochon (or sugarloaf) but for now, this pre-loved Cartier Ellipse ring scratches that itch.
The emerald it self is quite battered and a bit loose in its setting, but I’m careful not to wear it when doing anything laborious.
I’m also surprised by the weight of the item - it’s about 8.5g and 3mm thick, so it took my finger a few days to get used to the chunkiness. But it feels like a lovely, weighty piece on the hand.
Tagging @Rubies-R-Me as I remember she owned the full set of Cartier Ellipse rings in ruby, sapphire and emerald!
Oh congrats Pomelo! Your ring is gorgeous and the color of the emerald is perfect. I agree 100% about the "weightyness" of the piece. It's very substantial.
Thanks for tagging me! I haven't thought about that ring set for a while. No longer mine though.. I resold it on Ebay a some years ago.
And yes.. the emerald is very tender. When I sent it to the buyer in CA the stone actually cracked while in transit. The ruby and the sapphire were fine but the emerald didn't make the trip well. It was a little wonky to begin with so maybe that's why. Enjoy! You are now like Dorothy in "The Emerald City!" Yay!
Thank you!
Wow, cracked in transit? Out of interest, did UPS cover that?
@Pomelo I love this. I love rich yellow gold & that emerald is such a juicy colour!
Can you take it to Cartier & have it tightened?
Hello!
I fished out my old pix of the set and it's a little hard to see but the emerald was always a bit wonky. It had sunk lower on the ring than the other two stones.
I'm usually meticulous when it comes to packing up jewelry but I guess I missed something that time.
The box was super cool though!
Do you miss this set??? I love them!
Hi Sharon!
Yes.. I do miss the set. Most of the stuff I resell I don't think twice about but that was a special set. But.. I also have to think that those rings were a size 47 and fit fine back then but since my fingers have gotten a bit fatter so they probably would be a bit too snug now. I'm telling myself that to make myself feel better! lol.
Here is my small JUC in rose gold. I hadnt considered one of these until now because I assumed that the pointed part of the nail would be impractical to wear and would catch on things. But then I tried this in person and it is so comfortable and easy to wear and the bangle is so tactile and pretty and I was completely sold.
You still loving this beauty???
Hi Sharon!
So nice to see you post.
Yes.. been wearing it almost daily. It's nice that it keeps time without wearing every day. My other watches stop after a day or two and have to be reset.
I have noticed that I do check the time on it less that I did on my larger face watches as the face is very petite. Well I guess that's what phones are for.
I also have been on the hunt for a yellow gold tennis bracelet to wear on my opposite wrist to add a little bling onto the look.
Last but not least it's been hiding under long sleeves all winter but now with the warm weather coming it will be able to shine in the springtime sun.
Thanks for asking. Hope all is well with you and yours.
How exciting! Do you ever look at Era Gems (estate?) They have some nice stuff!
Amazing! It’s so fluid - is it heavy?
And a big Happy Birthday to youuuu!
