The custom of setting amethysts in rings goes back many centuries. As early as 1729, Der aufrichtige Jubelier states: "Amethyst. It is often 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 characteristics, even if they are unknown to us [...]." It is therefore not without a certain humor that a stone that was once considered a talisman against drunkenness is here set in a ring, the type of which we today refer to as a "cocktail ring". The amethyst shines in a deep purple color with bright reflections. Its color is wonderfully accentuated by its oval facet cut and it weighs around 19 carats. It shows very delicate natural inclusions and growth marks around the edges. The stone was found in Brazil. The gemstone is supported by a yellow gold setting that frames it with an effective shadow gap. The powerful design language, its style and also the materials indicate that it was created in the 1960s. The ring is in very good condition and is a colorful statement piece for the hand that came to us from the Rhineland!
