About the Item

1880s Victorian Etruscan revival Amethyst 14k gold ring. The 1880s Victorian Etruscan Revival Amethyst 14K Gold Ring represents a significant intersection of historical influences and artistic expression during the Late Victorian era. This period was marked by a resurgence of interest in ancient cultures, particularly the Etruscans, whose intricate goldwork inspired many contemporary jewelers. The ring features a stunning 8-carat oval-cut amethyst, which not only serves as the focal point but also highlights the popularity of colored gemstones in Victorian jewelry. The use of amethyst—a stone associated with clarity and calmness—reflects the era's fascination with both aesthetics and symbolism. The craftsmanship evident in this ring is exemplary of the Etruscan Revival style, characterized by its ornate designs and meticulous detailing. Jewelers employed techniques reminiscent of ancient goldsmithing to create pieces that were both luxurious and historically resonant. The incorporation of granulation—a technique involving tiny gold beads fused onto a surface—demonstrates not only technical skill but also an appreciation for historical artistry that appealed to the Victorian sensibility. SPECIFICATIONS: AMETHYST; 1 Oval faceted Amethyst weighing approximately 8 carats. METAL: 14k gold. WEIGHT: 10.2 grams. DIMENSIONS: 1.38" long by 1" wide. RING SIZE: Size 6.5. CONDITION: High magnification photographs show considerable design details, and this ring is in good condition, all consistent with age and wear. QUESTIONS?
