 Amazing amethyst ring - magnificent! April 17, 2008
This ring was among my best Amazon Jewelry purchases. The silver band was generous in weight, extremely comfortable, and of polished, shiney, sterling silver. My ring's stone measures 1/2 inch from top to bottom - that's big! The faceting of the stone is absolutely remarkable. I can barely take my eyes off of it's sparkle. Light purple/violet seems to be it's primary color but, the stone really does magically change to varying shades of amethyst (violet, pink, nearly clear) depending on the light! So interesting! The styling of the ring has a modern look with classic simplicity. Just some advice: The top and bottom portions of the stone are not protected with silver. This stone will surely chip if exposed to the rigors of hard work. I wear mine during quiet times. I have no regrets about promptly ordering 5 more for Xmas gifts. Recipients will be dazzled!
 What is it... Really?!? March 27, 2008
In the title it says Sterling "Silver Faceted Amethyst Ring" but in the product info it says: Material Type: blue-topaz.
I went with the picture and says, OK, I'm ordering an amethyst ring.
I received it today and had the ring on all day
For a larger ring, it's very comfortable! I can wear this all day with ease It's well made, the silver is substantial and very shiny, and the setting unique.
However, the stone itself... I really am not sure what it is!!!
In low light, it looks absolutely clear like glass but with some sparkle. In medium lighting, it is a very pale lavendar...the palest you'll see..two inches from my LED laptop light and it's a sparkly vibrant purple (not by any means a deep purple at all.) In some lights even, it looks like a pale pink CZ.
I am very confused with what kind of stone I received..
Loved the style, but once again, amazon fails me in the gem department. (Ordered diamond stud earrings, and they went back the same day...they were so cloudy and had big black speck on 'em....then there were the blue topaz hoops... topaz so pale, i couldnt even tell it had any color to it until i held it 2" from my bright light....) *sigh*
this ring will probably go back too.... unfortunate cause the setting is gorgeous, and the cut is beautiful...
