14k Yellow Gold Rose of Sharon Carved Amethyst Flower Ring

For sale is a 14k yellow gold carved amethyst rose of Sharon ring.  In the language of flowers, the rose of Sharon expresses the meaning “consumed by love.” It is also known as the “endless flower.”  Rose of Sharon rings were popular engagement rings during the Victorian era ring. The oval, translucent pale lavender amethyst is engraved with a tiny blossom in the center. 

The engraved flower is painted with gold. The antique amethyst shows some scuffs to the facets (see magnified photos.) The gemstone is held secure with many prongs, but notice that two of the prongs holding the ring have worn with time (see magnified photos.)  

The ring has elegantly engraved raised shoulders and a simple flat band in the back.  The yellow gold has a slightly rosey hue.  It combines beautifully with diamond, garnet, cameo, and pearl jewelry.  

**The gold shows normal wear for an antique piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)   

**We assume the ring was re-sized at some point, and the inside of the band shows some dark solder marks. 

** Two of the prongs holding the ring have worn with time (see magnified photos.)

Ring size:   8.75 (can be resized by your jeweler)
