This ring, an imaginative variation on the classic entourage ring, features a natural amethyst with a deep purple hue and a weight of 7.82 carats. A double ring of 48 white diamonds weighing around 0.78 ct surrounds the central stone like petals and intensifies its color. The custom of setting amethysts in rings goes back many centuries. As early as 1729, "Der aufrichtige Jubelier" states: "Amethist. In most cases it is only worn set in rings, and is generally held to be good against drunkenness and melancholy: although this virtue is disputed by many, it cannot be without special properties, even if they are unknown to us, because it is assigned the 9th place in the amethyst shield of Aaron as well as the 12th place among the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem." Does this effect really exist? The ring sets the luxurious setting in high-carat yellow gold, from which the wide, slightly curved ring band is also made. The result is a magnificent composition and the ring has a beautiful warm coloration. The ring, which was created around 1980, is in very good condition and its colors are reminiscent of a summer's day in Provence.
