This beautiful ring has Diamonds and Emerald. It is marked 14k 66/100. This was the 66th out of 100 rings he made. Might someone know more info on this particular ring?

Here's a sort of similar. Called a Peacock Ring.

You need to have that properly appraised.

There is a book of his jewelry, too.

Yours is actually called RAYONNEMENT. Super rare, as only 100 were made in Emerald..
This guy sold a Ruby one. Price not shown. He HAD an Emerald one-but is no longer on his site. Scroll down or do a search on RAYONNEMENT.

Here it is on Pinterest in Emerald. Also spelled RAYONEMENT.

YOUR emerald is SPECTACULAR COLOR!!
Celiene great research, I think you've found all the web links I did. This is just the basic google image search on his name:

Your rings' design seems to be a favourite motif of his. He uses it frequently in his jewelry. Here's another on Ruby Lane:

If you scroll down on this link, there's a some info on Mr. Erte and this ring. Perhaps if you contacted the jewelry store that sold this ring, they may have information on the emerald one.
It is a simply gorgeous ring, designed by a master of art deco jewelry.

Thank you Celiene! Thank you Gillian!
Many people seem to think Erte created that jewelry and salespeople certainly are not in a rush to clarify that he had nothing to do with the pieces. They were "inspired by" or "based" on his paintings/lithos/sculpture and the company purchased a license to use his name. The "limited edition" hype will wear off sooner or later. The jewelry book may have the info on which particular Erte piece "inspired" this ring, and if you'd like more info on the company producing the jewelry, here's an article I found (warning: its tone is rather critical): http://www.insuranceobserver.com/david-schiff/showarticle.php?article=1
