This beautifully designed, handmade 14kt yellow gold Russian amethyst V-shape solitaire ring is absolutely stunning. This piece is stamped 585, which is the karat designations for 14kt gold often used by European jewelers. These artisans are rich in the tradition of jewelry making dating back thousands of years. This amazing ring features a natural fancy Trillion cut Russian amethyst gemstone, with a most desirable vibrant deep purple color. This gem has one of the finest colors seen in the natural Amethyst and is very vivid, bright and clear. The amethyst was hand set in a gorgeous, very sophisticated 10mm wide V-shaped ring mounting. It was hand set into 3 thick, very powerful prongs, so it is very secure. The mounting was hand cast and hand polished to a very bright finish.
