Modernist 14k Yellow Gold and Amethyst Gypsy-Set Ring

This is a contemporary modernist-style ring crafted from solid 14k yellow gold, featuring a substantial weight reported at approximately 0.5 ounces (approx. 14-15 grams). The ring boasts a wide, tapered band with a smooth, matte or brushed satin finish rather than a high-polish shine, which lends it a sophisticated, architectural aesthetic. Centrally featured is a single rectangular cushion-cut amethyst of a deep, saturated purple hue. The stone is 'gypsy-set' or flush-set into the wide gold band, with the metal of the ring curving slightly around the edges of the gemstone for protection and a seamless integration of forms. The design is minimalist yet bold, characterized by its thick walls and rounded, sculptural geometry. While specific maker's marks are not visible in the image, the quality of the flush setting and the uniform finish suggest high-end studio craftsmanship. The gold surface shows very minor evidence of wear consistent with light use, though the overall condition appears excellent with no visible chips or abrasions to the amethyst. The style is indicative of late 20th-century or early 21st-century modern jewelry design.
