This beautifully sculpted ring captures the bold, luxurious style of the 1960s, a decade when oversized cabochons and textured yellow gold were hallmarks of refined European taste. The centerpiece is a richly saturated amethyst cabochon weighing an estimated 11.97 carats, exhibiting natural banding and semi-translucence—characteristics highly prized in vintage gemstone cutting. Its surface shows only minimal wear appropriate for its age, preserving its smooth, glassy dome.

Surrounding the gem is an exceptionally well-executed rope motif, a design element that became especially popular in mid-century British and Italian jewelry for its nautical elegance and tactile dimension. The twisted gold border adds depth and warmth, enhancing the gemstone’s velvety purple tone. The under-gallery features airy openwork that lifts the stone proudly above the hand, allowing light to illuminate the cabochon from below.

Maker’s marks and hallmarks are present. Substantial at 10.9 grams and crafted entirely in 18k gold, this ring delivers both presence and craftsmanship. A striking vintage statement piece, fully resizeable and ready to be worn or added to a curated mid-century collection.
