Very nicely crafted - heavy setting - bezel set genuine amethyst stone - this one is a size 9 - stamped 925 inside band under stone. Vintage piece that I actually wore a few times. Designer inspired from the early 90's - has that Yurman type of look however this is NOT Yurman or it would be $200! there is a slight ribbon of 14kt gold between the stone and the band. Nice piece for the February gal.
For the metaphysical people: Amethyst is a powerful and protective stone. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting the energy into love and protecting the wearer from all types of harm, including geopathic or electromagnetic stress and ill wishes from others. Amethyst is a natural tranquilizer - it relieves stress and strain, soothes irritability, balances mood swings, dispels anger, rage, fear and anxiety.
