Large Trillion Amethyst Ring with Wide Polished Tapered Band in 14k Yellow Gold

A large trillion amethyst, a deep purple, set at an angle across a wide polished band: two corners of the triangle are held in V-prongs and the third sits against a raised lip of the band itself, so the stone lies turned on the finger rather than square to it. The band is broad and flat-topped at the head and tapers toward the back. No other stones. 7.20 grams of 14k yellow gold.

One stone, one shape, one idea. Turning the triangle off its axis is what makes this ring modern — it stops being a setting with a stone in it and becomes a single object, the purple and the gold reading as one piece of design. Over seven grams of polished 14k gives it the presence of a much bigger ring without a second stone on it, and the wide band sits flat and comfortable under a sleeve. Isn’t that the ring people ask about?
