Smooth and luminous, an amethyst cabochon plays center stage in this ring, wrapped in an intricate Art Nouveau style decorative cage of sterling silver wire, peridot beads, and butterfly charms. The butterfly charms are sterling silver, and paired with the amethyst and peridot beads, they are reminiscent of real butterflies alighted on a rich purple flower. The silver has been lightly oxidized and the high points polished to bring out the light and shadow as well as the detail in the wire wrapping.
Size: 7 1/2. The cabochon and it's setting is fairly large, approximately 16 X 21 mm, or about 7/8 of an inch long and a little over 5/8 of an inch wide.
Note: The second picture which features the ring from the front, shows two horizontal lines. Those lines are the silver wires that make up the shank of the ring showing through the slightly transparent amethyst cabochon.
