Here we have a gorgeous late mid century solid 14K white gold and vivid purple natural amethyst ring.
The setting is so cool for the amethyst with a white gold textured geometric basket holding the amethyst high above the finger. All around the sides of the solitaire setting are textured lines of white gold followed by arches of white gold forming a perfect circle. It's very geometric and makes the vivid purple of the natural amethyst just POP!
Currently this super amethyst ring is a size 6 3/4 US. It can be resized within a large range.
Inside the shank there is a clear 585 mark, the European mark for 14 K gold, this confirmed by testing.
It weighs 5.5 grams approximately.
The top of the ring measures 11/16" in diameter at the bottom of the setting and rises high off the finger approximately 3/8" (16.8mm, 9.8mm).
One of the very lovely features of this modernist gold ring is the quality of the natural amethyst it is an intensely vivid purple with some pinker overtones. The eye clean natural amethyst is cut beautifully and sparkles like crazy catching the light from every which angle.
The amethyst measures 10.0mm by 5.6mm and weighs 2.5 carats as estimated in the setting.
Amethyst is the birthstone for February babies. I found out too, just today, that in ancient Greece beautiful amethysts like this one were thought too protect the wearer from drunkenness and assist one to have a good mind set! Whatever the properties of this glorious vivid purple natural stone I can attest to the fact that it gave me a huge smile because it was just so beautiful to photograph and look at. It's a super ring and a super stone!
This pretty ring is in lovely condition being ready to gift or to wear.
It shall be sent in a presentation box for safe keeping and ready for gifting.
The photos form part of the description. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside. Even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our very best to only use daylight lighting conditions and to accurately portray the colors we see in person. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, monitor settings and types of monitors can make slight differences to how colors are displayed.
