Intense Purple Amethyst Ring with White Sapphires

Intensely Purple Amethyst Ring with White Sapphires, 925 Sterling Silver

A deep purple, oval amethyst set in a high-shine sterling silver 925 ring, flanked either side with a double row of bright white sapphires numbering twenty-four in total.

The intensity of this gemstone's colour is outstanding, elegantly complemented by the clean lines and classic simplicity of the ring's design.

At 3.91 carats, this amethyst is in a deep, rich purple.  Purple has long been the color of royalty and nobility and the deeper the colour of amethyst, the more valuable they become.

White sapphires are rare and their brilliance and durability make them an attractive alternative to diamonds.

The gemstones are set in a 925 sterling silver ring, size 9.5 or S, which can be resized.

About amethyst
