Large Oval Amethyst Cocktail Ring in 18k Yellow Gold

This is a prominent cocktail ring featuring a large, oval-faceted purple amethyst centerpiece. The primary stone is set in what appears to be a heavy 18k or 14k yellow gold mounting. The central amethyst exhibits a deep, royal purple saturation with strong clarity, though some minor surface abrasions may be present upon closer inspection consistent with light wear. The main stone is secured by multiple prongs. Flanking the central stone on the wide yellow gold band are secondary accents, which include smaller set gemstones—specifically appearing to be rubies and perhaps smaller blue sapphires or amethysts in a bezel or flush-set arrangement. The construction is substantial, suggesting a custom or designer quality piece from the late 20th century. The gold displays a high-polish finish with a slight patina in the recessed areas around the accent stones. There are no maker's marks visible in the photograph, but the craftsmanship level indicates professional bench-work. The overall condition is good, showing typical signs of gentle use with no significant structural damage or missing stones.
