Amethyst Engagement Ring

Nestled into this 14KT yellow gold cathedral-style shank is a round brilliant cut deep purple amethyst. It measures 4 mm (a typical pencil eraser is 6 mm) and weighs .24 carats. The ring is made with 14KT yellow gold and has a lovely engraving down the sides.

The rough for this was found during construction, and the location became known as the Saltman Prospect (in Sweden, Maine). The location is no longer available for collecting, so gems are limited in number. The amethyst from the Saltman is typically darker than from Deer Hill!
