About the Item

Dating to the turn of the 20th century, this striking allegorical ring features a young Bacchus (Dionysus) in Neoclassical style as a putto-like child with chubby cheeks crowned in a cluster of of grapes and vines. Opposite him is a Maenad, one of Dionysus' frenzied followers.  Between then lies a richly hued bezel-set amethyst - a stone thought to protect the drinker from drunkenness. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek word "amethystos" meaning "not drunk".  Crafted in a warm, rosy 14k yellow gold, this exceptional ring has been moulded and hand chased with remarkable detail. Currently a ring size 8.  Weight: 16.3 grams Size: 8 Measurements: 17.8 mm north to south, sits 11 mm off of the finger Amethyst: 12 x 9 x 8.13 mm - estimated 4.7 carats Notes: some minor facet wear to the amethyst Markings: partial maker's mark, 14Kt
