Antique Large Silver Pierced Amethyst Ring

This bold and beautiful amethyst ring, hailing from the Arts and Crafts era, is a true showstopper. The sparkling, faceted oval amethyst commands attention with its vivid purple hue, set within a substantial silver mounting that perfectly balances elegance and heft. Encircled by a braided rope bezel and framed by swirling silver motifs, the setting creates a striking contrast, giving the piece a dynamic presence. The ring's neoclassical-inspired shoulders add a touch of refinement, blending classical design with the free-spirited creativity of the 1920s. The amethyst measures 18.5 x 14 x 9.5 mm, with an estimated weight of about 12.43 carats. The ring itself measures 25.7 mm north to south and 24 mm across, sitting 9.5 mm off the finger. It tapers to a comfortable 2.9 mm at the back of the band and is marked '925' for sterling silver. Sized at 9 and weighing 16.2 grams, this piece offers a substantial feel and a striking presence on the hand. Perfect for those who appreciate the artist
