Vintage 1940s 14CT Gold Amethyst Paste Ring

A stunning little late Art Deco (1940s) ring with a step-cut pinkish-purple purple stone set into a solid 14-carat gold mount. The shank, prongs and the larger decorative scrolls are yellow gold, while the smaller scrollwork and the shoulders are rose gold - to be honest the eye is tricked into seeing the colour it expects to see!

At the time of listing we have a very similar pendant, which came to us with the ring and is believed to originate from the same maker in Vienna, see photos and separate listing here.
