Antique Victorian ring centers on an oval-cut amethyst surrounded by 22 rose-cut diamonds. Set in 18K yellow gold. Circa 1880.

The vivid amethyst set in a traditional Victorian setting is enough, but with additional detail in the beautiful finish of the gold shoulders this ring is truly special. 

Diamond and gold mining has caused devastation in areas such as Africa, wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems and communities. Choosing to go vintage, you are eliminating the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds.
