Vintage Cabochon Amethysts 14k Gold Ring
Vintage Cabochon Amethysts 14k Gold Ring
This vintage cabochon amethyst 14k gold ring is really unusual and so beautiful; I've never seen one quite like it. The amethyst itself is so gorgeous, in the ideal shade of purple, and the oblong cabochon cut really emphasizes its quality. Amethyst is February's birthstone, but it's also a stone known for its powerful healing qualities, specifically associated with serenity, clarity, and the protection of romantic love. The word "amethyst" derives from the Greek word “améthystos," literally meaning “not intoxicated." The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst were capable of preventing the wearer from becoming drunk while consuming alcohol, even going to far as to festoon drinking vessels with precious amethyst stones.

In Feng Shui, Amethyst can be used to transform lower vibrations into positive ones. The 14k gold setting is so unique: the stone itself is set off-kilter, and the shank has a square-shaped exterior (interior is round, as a typical ring). It has a pebble-finished texture on the head of the ring, as well as the under-side. The ring is not signed, and is likely a custom-made piece, meaning it is completely one-of-a-kind. Approximate ring size is US 6.5/7.
