Vintage purple amethyst solitaire ring, in 9 carat gold

This ring is a serious statement piece - the sheer size of the vibrant purple amethyst stone paired with the bold open basket gallery and the patterned asymmetrical gold halo makes for a unique piece. Gorgeously modernist in its feel, boasts a fantastic 'finger-coverage' of just over two glorious centimetres in length. 

Lovely bright gold throughout the piece, exaggerated by the thin tapered band and the halo sits in contrast perfectly with the gemstone. Amethyst is the February birthstone. An amethyst ring is romantic and full of beautiful symbolism, associated with calmness, spiritual clarity, royalty and courage.

This piece is in beautiful vintage condition, signs of use and wear as expected with age. The gemstone has some minor wear visible (scuffs, scratches etc) when examined, yet secure in its setting with no chips. The band shows minimal patina, some very slight misshapen-ness of one shoulder which cannot be seen when worn and does not affect wear.
