10k Yellow Gold Pink Amethyst Ring

This is a very pretty ring but my hands are rather small. It looked like costume jewelry on my hands so I returned the ring.

I knew from past experience that this pink amethyst stone would be lighter than the picture, but that was what I wanted. I wanted a very large, sparkling stone with just a wash of color, and that describes this ring. It has many light-catching facets and a subtle tint of violet-pink. Mine measures 3/4" from top to bottom. Because of it's impressive size, I wear it on my middle finger and, needless to say, I wear no other rings on that hand that might cause a distraction. This is a ring that could make some ladies feel like royalty! A word on caring for this precious stone: While the 10K gold setting seems sturdy enough, there are only 4 prongs which seem a bit lighter than my other rings. Please go easy on this ring - spare it from housework and sports activities because you might cry if you lose it. This type of gemstone has also been known to chip, so treat it with lots of TLC. Hope you love your ring as I do mine!
