Extremely popular in 18th and 19th century Scotland, amethyst retained its popularity through the 20th century. Handcrafted and shaped in the 18th century, this large and colorful amethyst comes from the Devonian lava beds near the coast of Angus County, Scotland. Much finer than the images here suggest, it is a lovely cabochon oval cut, gorgeous, vibrant and richly hued, the pride of a 18th century Russian artisan. A nice quality gemstone in its times, it is more or less transparent but by no means flawless. Though generous in size, it is not a high quality amethyst by today's standards, though it is historically significant. Purple has always been associated with royalty and amethyst is no exception. It was popular with all of Europe's royalty during Renaissance and Victorian times. When seen under magnification. The coarseness of the finish of this 18th century amethyst tells us that it is obviously hand crafted. Rather than detracting from its value or allure, this is considered appealing to most collectors, who consider examples like this to be more desirable than today’s computer-controlled machine-produced gemstones.

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Rubies were viewed as a stone of prophecy. Used by medieval shamans and sorcerers to divine the future. Ruby was also worn as a talisman, as it was believed that the stone darkened when danger was near, and then return to its original color when the danger was past. Consequentially rubies were considered even more valuable than diamonds. In Medieval Europe ruby was priced 8 times higher than diamond. Here's a nice quality 18th century antique hand shaped/faceted oval ruby precious gemstone ... morefrom Mysore, India. Though considered a"silky" ruby, because they are translucent and not transparent(i.e. it appears"silky" it nonetheless possesses great color and beauty. Most natural rubies have dispersed colorless crystalline material particles within the gemstone that while not individually discernible, when dense enough will nonetheless impart a translucent"silky" appearance to the gemstone. In other words, the ruby gemstones are not transparent, rather they are a translucent, silky blood red tone. These rubies are much more common than crystal-clear specimens. Natural rubies, like sapphires and emeralds, commonly have lots of internal blemishes. So long as these blemishes are colorless, they are"harmless" commonplace, and acceptable. The dispersed colorless crystalline material changes the nature of the gemstone from transparent to translucent. However the rich"ruby red" color is still preserved, and the gemstones can be quite breathtaking in their beauty and luster. In contrast, the very highest quality rubies appear as red colored glass; completely transparent. However such high-quality rubies can easily cost thou

NOTES: Resizing is available. 14kt solid gold setting is also available. DETAIL: Due to its red color. Ancient cultures including the Celts, Greeks, and Romans also associated it with blood, and thus garnet was thought to stop bleeding or bloodshed between enemies. Ancient Mediterranean cultures also believed that a garnet could give its wearer guidance in the night, ... moreallowing them to see when others could not. Garnet was also worn for protection when traveling, as garnet was believed to warn the wearer of approaching danger. The ancient Persians regarded garnet as a royal stone, and only royalty was allowed to possess the gemstone. According to Jewish mythology, a giant garnet provided interior lighting for Noah's Ark. It is also believed that garnet, described as“nopek” was one of the twelve gemstones described in the Bible in Exodus 28:17-20 as adorning Aaron’s breastplate, representing the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. This particular variety of garnet is of the rarer and more costly rhodolite garnet. This is very clean, crystal clear, and exquisitely colored. Unlike ordinary garnets which have a smoky orange undertone, rhodolite garnets possess a rich, vibrant, bright red with an undertone of violet, producing the classic rhodolite"raspberry red" Victorian Europe was so enthusiastic about the raspberry red color of Rhodolite Garnet that they were called"Bohemian Rubies" In Africa this remarkable red semi-precious gemstone was known as a"Cape Ruby" during the Victorian era. Gorgeous. Raspberry red

However it is also possible that rather than attaching a bezel by brazing it onto the band, it is also possible that a gemstone might have been attached(the Romans used bitumen and pitch as adhesives) If indeed a gemstone had been fastened to the ring, it might quite likely have been an intaglio gemstone, i.e. a carnelian or amethyst(or some other quartz gemstone) with an engraved surface capable of pressing the wearer’s“seal” into wax or lead. In any event, when the ring was unearthed almost two thousand years after it was lost, all that remained were the bands and the three supports which had originally supported a bezel or stone.
