18K Amethyst & Diamond Ring

The name Amethyst comes from the Greek word ametusthos, meaning "not intoxicated."  The jewel was named so according to a Greek myth. The wine god Bacchus, angry over an insult, said that the first person he should meet up with would be eaten by tigers. The unfortunate maiden who he ran into was named Amethyst. The goddess Diana protected her by turning her into a clear crystal. Bacchus regretted his brutality and poured his wine over the crystal, turning it into the lovely violet hue we all know and love. This story has helped establish the belief that amethyst can be worn as protection from inebriation and to strengthen clear headedness.

This incredible  pineapple cut amethyst ring has been set in 18 karat white gold with sparkling diamonds forming a frame around the ring top, as well as resting on the shoulders. The elongated tapering form is a uniquely distinctive shape, showcasing the interesting cut and clear purple stone. Recalling the Greek myth, it is definitely a "pillar" of beauty!
