Antique Amethyst Solitaire Engagement Ring

This fabulous antique engagement ring is set with a top-quality natural amethyst. The ring arrived without its original gemstone, so we selected an amethyst as a period-correct replacement. The amethyst takes center stage in this piece —a deep, true purple hue with flashes of red and blue in different lighting, making this one a top-quality example of amethyst. It is set with yellow gold prongs, but the ring is finely worked platinum, complete with engraved accents. While this ring was originally designed as a cocktail ring, it can be worn as an engagement ring today, especially if you love the color purple!
