Jewellery in flower shapes delighted jewellers' clientele, especially in the 19th century. People saw in this pleasing shape symbols of friendship and love. This mid-20th century ring varies this classic flower shape, seven deep purple amethysts are set in silver, with the center stone sitting in a setting that is star-shaped. In all, about three carats of intense purple amethysts are set. Below the amethysts a gallery and a ring band of gold are attached. The basic shape of the ring is reminiscent of Victorian-era jewellery, but the size and setting of the ring make it more likely to have been created in the 1960s. The ring found its way to us here in Berlin and is a colourful eye-catcher with gorgeous amethysts.
