Unique Victorian 10ct Gold Cabochon Amethyst Ring

This Victorian 10ct Yellow Gold Oval Cabochon Amethyst Ring features a unique handmade design, making it the perfect addition to any collection!

This unique Victorian 10ct gold cabochon amethyst ring is a beautiful example of the intricate craftsmanship and romantic style that defined the jewellery of the Victorian era. The ring’s handmade setting speaks to the highly personalised and artisanal approach to jewellery making that was prevalent during the 19th century.

Unlike mass-produced pieces, many rings made in this era were often painstakingly crafted by hand, with each one being unique and imbued with a sense of individuality. The combination of the warm, rich yellow gold and the smooth, rounded form of the cabochon amethyst creates a striking contrast.

The use of amethyst, in particular, was highly popular during the Victorian period, especially in engagement and sentimental jewellery. Amethyst, with its rich purple hue, was believed to have healing properties and was considered a symbol of nobility and wealth. It was also thought to protect the wearer from intoxication, giving rise to its association with temperance and clear-headedness.

This unique Victorian 10ct gold cabochon amethyst ring is a superb example of Victorian craftsmanship and design. The handmade setting, with its thoughtful use of gold and the elegant shape of the amethyst, ensures that this piece remains both a work of art and a timeless symbol of the period’s values and aesthetic ideals.

The deep purple cabochon Amethyst is bezel set and has fancy wire scroll basket.
