Silver Victorian Amethyst Ring

I fell in love with this ring the first time I saw it. There’s something about the combination of rich purple amethyst and delicate silver detail that feels instantly romantic.

It has the charm of something discovered in an antique jewelry box, hidden beneath love letters and a few dried roses. 

Deep violet and softly translucent, the amethyst cabochon brings a touch of color without overwhelming the fine silverwork around it.

For centuries, amethyst was associated with wealth and status. Thankfully, this spectacular gemstone is now widely available and affordable. It is so beautiful, and wonderfully easy to recognize at a glance.

In gemstone lore, amethyst has been associated with sincerity, sobriety, and spiritual wisdom. It is also the traditional birthstone for February.

The Victorian Amethyst Ring is made from nickel-free .925 sterling silver and set with a genuine amethyst cabochon. The design measures just under 1/4" across at its widest point and is available in whole sizes 4-11.
