Amethyst Floral Ring, 18KY

This fanciful ring showcases both the intricacies of metalwork, and how a ring is more than just a gemstone on a band. It is a work of art, where stone and metal harmonize to make an impact greater than each on it’s own.

The floral/leaf motif has been a longtime staple of Laurie Donovan designs, and can be applied to a variety of underlying styles, including our popular wrap ring. Shown here with a six prong setting cradling a 9mm, 2.5ct Amethyst with three .08ct diamonds, this ring is a stunning addition to any collection.
