Striking Vintage 8K Gold Marquise Amethyst Ring

Look at the SHAPE of her - a long, elegant marquise of soft lilac amethyst, laid east-west in a smooth golden frame that stretches beautifully across the finger. The whole head measures around 26 x 12 mm, so she makes a real statement, yet the slim split band keeps her feeling light and graceful on the hand. I have written about amethyst and why it was once as precious as rubies here: Amethyst in Antique Jewelry

She is 8K gold - the warm, slightly deeper continental gold you find in older European pieces - and she fits like a size 7.5 US.

She is in excellent condition with minor signs of age.
