Edwardian Amethyst and Diamond Platinum Ring

Once upon a time, only the royal and the wealthy could don the color purple; the dye used to create it was rare and quite expensive. How wonderful that nature produces its own incomparable version of the color courtesy of amethysts. This regal Edwardian beauty gleams at its center with a 4.80 carat stone imbued with a rich and robust deep violet hue, accented--in striking contrast--with not one, but two glittering halos of rose-cut diamonds. The vertical shoulders are detailed with chenier tubing, while the under gallery is an exquisite openwork creation of fancy hearts with leaf-like centers. An astonishing beauty. Total diamond weight, 1.20 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum over 18K, currently ring size 6 1/2.
