The focus of this ethereal antique Russian bangle is the rectangular emerald-cut amethyst that is set on a bias. The amethyst has a deep, vivid purple tone and wonderful transparency that draws the eye. It is likely of Siberian origin, considered the highest grade and rare because the deposits are now exhausted. It’s hard to miss the wonderfully detailed and meticulous metalwork surrounding it – the delicate prongs and the scrollwork. The tulip motifs next to the diamonds date this piece to the 1870s. The thin rolled wire detailing lines the edges of the bangle, adding texture and rich visual display. The side Old Mine cut diamonds add a lovely contrast to the velvety purple.
The hinged bangle, handcrafted in a slightly rose toned 14k, has acquired a deep antique patina over the years and looks lovely by itself or layered with other bangles and chain bracelets.
Preserved in excellent antique condition, with light wear consistent with age and use. There is a minor, very shallow depression in the inner band, which is invisible when worn and has no impact on its beauty or functionality. The hidden box clasp fits tightly and closes with a perfect snap. The safety catch adds an extra layer of protection. Gently cleaned and ready to wear.

Antique and vintage jewelry are sold as is. They are pre-owned and will bear signs of wear commensurate with their age, which may or may not have been stated in the product description. Metal surfaces could have light marks or scratches, and rings may be out of round. The stones, too, could have surface wear or sometimes chips. Evidence of repair could also manifest as imperfections, given the techniques and instruments available at the time.
