Amethyst has long been prized for its stunning purple hue and its associations with royalty and luxury. Historically, amethyst was as valuable as rubies and emeralds until large deposits were discovered in Brazil. Its name comes from the Greek word "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated," reflecting the ancient belief that the stone protected its wearer from drunkenness.
This set, with its classic design and use of high-quality materials, is a testament to timeless elegance and sophistication. The 18k gold setting not only enhances the beauty of the amethyst stones but also adds a touch of luxury and durability.
Condition
The set is in excellent condition with all stones securely set and the gold retaining its original luster. There are small scratches on the stones and gold, but not significant enough to detract from the beauty or wearability.
