Amethyst and Rose-Cut Diamond Ring Set in 19 Karat Yellow Gold, circa 1773

About the Item

This stunning 18th century Amethyst and Rose-Cut Diamond Ring is an incredible antique discovery. Made in 1773 this ring is truly one of a kind. It features a beautiful royal purple amethyst accompanied by two sparkling rose-cut diamonds. But what makes this ring a true work of art is its intricate and ornate shank design. The jeweler who made this ring truly left his mark in the writing found on the inside and outside of the shank. The inscriptions tell us the date of creation and the name of either the creator or the owner. This delicate piece was probably made in Europe, as it bears remarkable likeness to rings from the European baroque period. The ring has been tested and proved to be made of 19K yellow gold with a lovely black patina and white enamel which both accentuate the lovely incriptions and designs on the ring. Let this ring take you on a journey back to 1773 Europe as you wear it! This is a true antique piece, and we are honored to offer it to our 1st Dibs family.
