Six clear and luminous amethyst are joined by filigreed and granulated gold quatrefoils evocative of the Gothic and Renaissance eras. Each amethyst is bezel set in a roped border. A refined beauty, circa 1870s.

Amethyst is the birthstone for February, and the ancient Greeks believed that this gemstone protected its wearer from inebriation and overindulgence, bringing soberness of mind.
