We're absolutely smitten with this charming antique ring: the soft saturation of the violet amethyst with pale pink undertones, the scallop-like mass of delicate prongs and low rise mount, and that unique Greek key design upon the shoulders all work in concert to create a ring that is firmly in the style of its Victorian period, while still having an alluring draw today. The crown-like basket of the setting pulls in the royal style that purple has long invoked, while the clarity of the stone and detailed shoulders are almost otherworldly.

Good antique condition with wear to stone and gold in line with age and use. Stone is secure in its setting, though may require retipping sooner if intended for daily wear.
