Princess-Cut Purple Amethyst or Synthetic Stone Ring

This item is a statement ring featuring a large, princess-cut purple gemstone, likely amethyst or a synthetic alternative. The stone exhibits a vibrant magenta-purple hue with noticeable brilliance. It is secured by a four-prong setting that appears to be crafted from white metal (likely white gold, silver, or platinum), while the main band or shank of the ring consists of yellow gold or a gold-toned metal, creating a classic two-tone aesthetic. The stone is quite large, estimated at several carats based on its scale relative to the finger. The shoulders of the ring taper as they meet the setting, a design choice characteristic of contemporary or late 20th-century jewelry. There is visible surface wear on the metal, including minor scuffs and a dulling of the polish, which suggests regular use. The gem shows no immediate signs of major chipping, though closer inspection for facet wear would be necessary to determine age. No maker's marks or hallmarks are visible in the photograph, but the weight and finish suggest a mid-range quality pieces often found in late 1980s to early 2000s commercial jewelry design.
