Description

This lovely Sterling Silver Ring with it's genuine faceted Amethyst focal point surrounded by genuine faceted Marcasite was crafted by Thai Artisans in the early 1980s. It is done in the Victorian Revival Style starting to become popular in this era, still is popular today. With most Victorian Jewelry available in the late 20th Century being either in poor condition or with difficulty to assess metal compositions, artisans re-created the Victorian Style in 925 Sterling Silver and genuine gemstones popular during the Victorian Era. Inspired by designs seen in Museums, Thai artisans brought us better quality antique look Victorian Revival jewelry in more precious metal settings than the antique pieces. The modern pieces wear better and don't threaten to fall apart any time when subjected to the demands of day-to-day life.
