Shopping for an antique amethyst engagement ring?
If you’re contemplating an engagement ring with a center stone other than a diamond, it’s probably because you simply adore color or your sense of style leans toward the unexpected. While a white diamond can feel cool and sophisticated, colored gemstones such as amethysts are vibrant — bursting with warmth and character — and imbued with symbolic significance, transforming the ring into an eloquent, multilayered expression of love and commitment.
Amethyst is a purple quartz, and an antique amethyst engagement ring's beautiful violet hue — which can range from a light pink to a deep purple — is the result of irradiation, trace elements and iron impurities. The most desired color is known as “Deep Siberian” and has a primary purple hue of around 75 to 80 percent, with 15 to 20 percent blue and (depending on the light source) red secondary hues.
There are few gemstones in the world that are both affordable and worthy of a duchess’s attention. But then not many stones are as beautiful as amethyst. Indeed, vintage and antique amethyst jewelry has innumerable fans, and February’s birthstone has many unique attributes. For the romantics, there are several tales in Greek mythology that tell the story of Bacchus and Amethyste, a maiden that he pursues yet is rescued by Diane by turning her into a white stone. Bacchus, mourning his love, pours a glass of wine over the sculpture, dyeing her purple.
Amethyst has adorned many royal jewels. One of the most enviable jewelry collections of all time belonged to Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor. In 1947, the Duke gifted her with a Cartier amethyst and turquoise bib necklace. This special order piece was made with twisted 18-carat and 20-carat gold, platinum, brilliant- and baguette-cut diamonds, one heart-shaped faceted amethyst, 27 emerald-cut amethysts, one oval faceted amethyst, and turquoise cabochons.
The Duchess was not the only Royal with a penchant for the purple gemstone. The tiara now owned by Queen Silvia of Sweden is set with amethysts that once belonged to the French Empress Josephine. A stunning 56-carat cushion-cut, square-shaped amethyst set in an 18-karat yellow gold necklace designed by Tiffany & Co. is now in the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
The Smithsonian also has in its possession an even more rare example of fine amethyst: the 96-carat Morris Amethyst Brooch. The brooch features a deep, rich purple heart-shaped amethyst. The museum states that the piece was likely made during the Edwardian period (1901–15) “when platinum and diamonds were often used, and amethyst, a favorite stone of King Edward VII’s wife, Alexandra, was often included in jewelry of the era.” Cartier pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry in the late 1800s, identifying the strong, lustrous metal as ideal for bringing out the true qualities of diamonds in its engagement rings. While platinum had been a part of jewelry making before, it hadn’t been used in the way that Cartier intended.
The earliest period of the Victorian era, which historians often call the Romantic period, marks Prince Albert’s engagement to Queen Victoria. Romantic notions of love are reflected in the period’s designs, which showcase rubies, amethysts and emeralds in motifs featuring hearts and flowers.
