amethyst engagement ring
Such an interesting commission. He came to me, looking for someone to make this ring. his fiance told him it would be a good gift for his soon to be mother in law. alas the site where they found the ring was no longer so I agreed to make the ring and ship to Moldova. I searched and finally settled upon this stunning 8 x 10 mm emerald cut amethyst. Immediately I wanted 18 karat yellow for the settings, to really accentuate the deep color the stunning stones. Amethyst is really spectacular sometimes. I chose 18 karat Palladium white because it is so lovely and malleable and lent itself very well to the braiding of the gold wires on the two bands. The two bands by the way join at the bottom of the ring, providing a really solid base. I also really like the placement of the two rounds amethysts, I don’t know why, but the lack of symmetry next to this stunningly perfect big deep purple amethyst, I was so pleased and I believe it was a hit in Moldova.
