Crystal Ball : Vintage Amethyst Cabochon Ring in 18ct Gold

♥Sold♥

Aunty Jessie, my Favourite Aunty, had Down’s syndrome.
She loved love.
She would tell us wonderful stories about her and her fiancée (as she gestured to a news presenter on the TV) and how they were going to get married and live together in a little caravan by the sea 🌊💘
Her older brothers used to give her rings as gifts, which dear Jessie would wear and flutter her fingers as proof of the truth of her sweet stories.
This is one of Aunty Jessie’s rings. I feel certain that amethyst can show you visions of the future, but only ones where all your dreams come true 💜

Manufacture: 
Dating to the 1970’s / 1980’s this vintage ring is modelled in 18ct yellow gold, and set with a plump and delicious natural amethyst cabochon. The ring is hallmarked 750 to the inside of the band. I believe it was purchased in Italy. The ring is fashioned as a stylised stirrup or buckle, with the gemstone as the catch.

The oval cut natural amethyst cabochon is a mid-purple hue with tinges of rose. It measures 9.06mm x 7.11mm x 3.1mm – approximately 1.5 carats. It is held in place with a four pronged setting that allows light to penetrate the gemstone from all angles, allowing it to reflect and refract the light, just like a magical crystal ball. The colour of the stone changes from deep to pale purple depending on the amount and angle of available light. It’s the juiciest pop of colour 💜

The face of the ring measures 10.12mm x 13.4mm
Sits 5.63mm high on the finger.
Weighs 2.7 grams

Size N or 7
resizable by your local bench jeweller

Condition: 
In as-new condition with no signs of wear to note. Ready for immediate and everyday wear.
