Antique Victorian Amethyst Diamond Cluster Ring 8.5ct Amethyst
Leave an impression with this magnificent antique Victorian amethyst diamond cluster ring, built around a large oval cut amethyst in the centre, with a regal deep-violet hue (approx. 8.5ct). It’s claw set within a frame of sixteen natural rose cut diamonds (approx. 2.4ct total), glistening around the frame like the amethyst’s own personal paparazzi.
Amethyst is the birthstone of February and is often associated with Saint Valentine, who was said to have worn an amethyst ring carved with Cupid. Throughout history, its deep purple-violet hue has long been a favourite of royalty and contrasts beautifully with the bright, scintillating sparkle of diamonds, together symbolising eternal love and devotion.
This Victorian amethyst diamond cluster ring is a grand statement piece that is sure to turn heads. It dates to the late 19th Century and is fashioned in gold and silver, with a 14ct stamp within the band, suggesting it may have been replaced over time.
