This iconic engagement featured a 2.88 - carat diamond alongside a 2.84 – carat Emerald, truly made a vintage art deco. The JFK ring – originally purchased in the year 1953, a gorgeous vintage  ring boasted with Diamonds, Emerald and several other tapered with baguettes was a talk of the town then. It was created by the French jewelry company, Van Cleef & Arpels, and had a beautiful flowery look that any woman would love to add to her collection. However, it is said that Jackie got it redesigned in 1963 with some more diamonds added to it. Isn’t it hard to imagine? 2.12 carats of marquise and diamonds made the ring weigh almost 8 carats of diamonds and emeralds. Now that’s huge! Wonder how much it costs!! The former president did manage to woo the beautiful lady!!

She was also spotted covering her left hand in many of her photos. Jackie Kennedy was also seen wearing gloves as women did in historic times. Now we can say she was definitely a graceful wife. She kept herself composed and alarmed which is one of the benefits of wearing Emerald gemstone.
