About the Item

1970s Amethyst diamond yellow gold cocktail ring. The 1970s amethyst diamond yellow gold cocktail ring exemplifies the era's distinctive approach to jewelry design, characterized by boldness and a flair for the dramatic. Cocktail rings gained popularity during the Prohibition era of the 1920s, serving as symbols of rebellion and independence. These oversized rings became associated with social gatherings and leisure activities, such as dinner parties, where they were worn to signify personal wealth and individual style. The 1970s marked a significant evolution in this trend, as designers embraced vibrant colors and unconventional materials that reflected the decade's cultural shifts. Amethyst stones were particularly favored during this period due to their striking purple hue and perceived mystical properties. The combination of amethyst with diamonds in a yellow gold setting not only created a visually arresting piece but also demonstrated an artistic synergy between gemstones. Yellow gold was emblematic of the time's preference for warm tones over cooler metals like white gold or platinum. This choice reinforced a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously embracing modernity. SPECIFICATIONS: AMETHYST: One large elongated Amethyst weighing approximately 14 carats. DIAMONDS: 6 round brilliant cut diamonds total approximately 0.15 carat, approximately SI clarity, I-J color. METAL: 14k yellow gold. WEIGHT: 8.8 grams. DIMENSIONS: 7/8" long by 5/8" wide. RING SIZE: Size 5.5. CONDITION: High magnification photographs show considerable design details, and this ring is in good condition, all consistent with age and wear. * QUESTIONS?
