ABOUT THIS 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.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
