This VERY SPECIAL ring is an art deco inspired mid century retro modern in an ample size 7 1/2 (easily sized by a competent jeweler) has an approximate 21 mm by 13 mm (5/8" by 1/2") oval faceted purple stone. Though I have not tested it by a gemologist, I believe it to either be a natural amethyst or a synthetic alexanderite. Including the splendid mounting, the top of the ring measures about 13/16" by 11/16".
The ring is stamped on the inside of the shank, though it is hard to make out exactly. I believe it's either marked "14K" or "585" for European gold. It may even be 750 or 18K pink gold...it tests strong for 14K and I guarantee it to be at least that pure, if not purer.
Beautifully styled, the elegant ring is a classic treasure.

The wavy bezel highlights the brilliant clear stone magnificently, and four secure and heavy prongs hold the oval cut tightly. When you look at the ring from above, it appears that it is hand made as it is asymetrically set and is not centered exactly. This really makes you realize that this is a one-of-a-kind piece and not mass produced.
In excellent condition, I am tempted to call this mint. It is free of damage or repair, the shank being round and strong. No weak spots or scratches in the stone, the facets are brilliant and show this stone off as nice as you could ever hope for. Rings like this sell for upwards to $500 to $750 and more. Don't miss this chance to own a truly unique piece sure to appeal to the most picky of collectors!! |
