In the center of this beautiful ring from around 1925 shines a purple amethyst in a so-called "sugarloaf cut". The stone has a rectangular basic shape and is cut into a high cabochon that is actually reminiscent of a sugar loaf. The amethyst is held in place by a surrounding frame. It is framed by a wreath of eleven large diamond roses. Their white gold settings are decorated with delicate milegrains. The custom of setting amethysts in rings goes back many centuries. As early as 1729, Der aufrichtige Jubelier states: "Amethist. It is often only worn set in rings, and is generally considered good against drunkenness and melancholy: although this virtue is disputed by many, it cannot be without special qualities" Whether this effect really applies remains to be seen. However, the unmistakable color of the amethyst, which is accentuated particularly well by the unusual cut, is still captivating today. When we discovered the ring without its center stone, we therefore quickly decided to insert a luminous amethyst into the ring. Our gemstone cutter cut the amethyst to fit into the ring and our gemstone setter then set it into the ring. We think new and old go well together: And perhaps it really does protect against drunkenness and melancholy?
