Emerging in the 1920s and flourishing through the 1930s, Art Deco jewelry drew inspiration from modern architecture, the machine age, and international artistic movements, favoring clean lines, symmetrical forms, and richly colored gemstones. The period’s designers celebrated the natural beauty of stones through sophisticated geometric cuts, allowing each gem to become the focal point of the composition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExpertly crafted in 14k white gold (stamped 18k but testing closer to 14k), the ring centers a magnificent octagonal step-cut amethyst weighing approximately 3.25 carats. The elongated, linear facets of the step cut create a sophisticated play of light and emphasize the amethyst’s deep violet hue, a color long associated with royalty, wisdom, and refinement. The cool tone of the white gold setting provides a striking contrast, enhancing the gemstone’s rich saturation while reflecting the streamlined elegance of the Art Deco aesthetic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautiful example of early twentieth-century gemstone design, this ring captures the glamour and modern sensibility of the Art Deco period—a timeless jewel defined by architectural form, vibrant color, and enduring craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Circa 1930\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 14k white gold, stamped 18k but tests closer to 14k\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 1 octagonal step-cut amethyst weighing approximately 3.25 carats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Measures 1 x ½ in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• Size 6 ¼, resizable  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Estimated gross weight: 2.2 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Very good vintage condition, with wear in the form of minor scratches, wear on facet junctions, and wear appropriate with age\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clover Collective Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48973620641975,"sku":"236","price":820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/3830\/0599\/files\/7E033001-156B-4C35-883B-7A3D30A3A6E5.jpg?v=1786144140","url":"https:\/\/clovercollectiveantiques.com\/products\/art-deco-14k-white-gold-and-amethyst-ring","provider":"Clover Collective Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
