 This stunning token of love bears some lovely old (likely Australian) hallmarks, and that shows that in her 50plus years of life this ring has been treasured and unbelievably well looked after. You would be forgiven for thinking she was much newer than she is based purely on this. Handcrafted in 18ct gold, this ring is clean modern lines and a beautiful bold stone. The central amethyst is 2.6ct (10mm x 8mm) and is deep in its purple tones from violet through grape, and this makes it feel super luxurious against the buttery gold. The stone is set by four yellow gold claws, and has three white gold claw set single cut diamonds on either side - and these collets rise from the base of the ring and offer a lovely side profile. The stones are held in a wide marquise shape 18ct gold frame, that offers a lovely symmetry to the ring, and a very modern and architectural feel to the piece. If we had to guess at a decade we would probably say the 1950s - based on shape and style.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
