Dating to the 1920's this beautiful high Deco era silver cocktail ring showcases a uniquely cut amethyst gemstone in a beautiful shade of lavender flanked by 2 bright white topaz accent stones at each side.
Crafted in 800 silver, so likely hailing from Germany or France. The ring is geometrically styled with a stepped profile and a fabulous cut out under gallery. The rectangular amethyst is roof shaped at the top, almost like a sugar loaf gemstone but more angular. It is set in split triple claws at the top and bottom and split double claws at the sides. The white topaz gemstones stones at the sides are accented by silver scrollwork. A double band adds to the detailed design.
A gorgeous all original jazz age cocktail ring in very good condition with light surface wear as expected in an antique ring. Please see the photos and disregard the yellowish reflections, the silver is a lovely bright white. There is a slight surface chip to the corner of the amethyst that is only noticeable under close magnification and we have priced accordingly. The gemstones have been tested and verified using a Presidium gem tester.
