Edwardian Art Nouveau 14k Siberian Amethyst Ring

A magical and delicious early 20th century Edwardian – Art Nouveau statement ring, featuring a large 12 carat natural amethyst cabochon with beautiful mossy inclusions and a velvety, deep purple coloring typically categorized as”Siberian” by those in the jewelry field. The design of the setting and shank, with its raised openwork gallery with swirling motifs and a shank incised with aesthetic movement like designs, is quite typical for the opening decade of the 1900s, a time when designers and jewelers were shedding Victorian sentimentality to explore more exotic and sensational looks inspired by near eastern art.
