| This 15k Georgian diamond and amethyst ring is circa 1800. It has a central, faceted foil back amethyst flanked by four rose diamonds. The amethyst is a rich violet measuring 9mm x 5 mm. The rose diamonds, set in silver have a champagne color and are foil back. They have typical imperfections found in gems of this period which are visible with a loop. The shank is finely decorated and completely original. The reverse of the amethyst has a reeded back typical of Georgian period rings. It measures an 8 US and can be sized by a competent jeweler. The ring is entirely original, in excellent condition and beautiful. Amethysts were used for royalty as the stone in this period of time was quite rare and reserved for the finest of gems. | |||||||||||
