Description
Reflective of the opulence and extravagance of the time, cocktail rings like this one were highly popular during the Victorian era as they were a wonderful way to publicly display one’s wealth at social events. This one is a prime example, the generous 27ct amethyst is claw set upon a 17ct yellow-rose gold mount. The many facets of the oval-cut stone pay court to the rich purple hue that amethyst is so popular for. This is a no-distractions ring, where the stone simply speaks for itself. In the true fashion of a cocktail ring, it sits high off the finger and is best worn alone.
