The ring is approximately a size 5 and 1/2. The face of the ring measures approximately 1/2 of an inch, or about 12.7 millimeters, high, by just over about 3/4 of an inch, or approximately 19.5 millimeters, wide, and projects roughly 1/4 of an inch from the top of the finger. The band narrows in back to about 3/16 of an inch, or around 4.7625 millimeters, wide. The round amethyst measures just over 3/8 of an inch in diameter, making it approximately 3.85 carats. (Included you'll find a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) Stamped, "925", and , "Israel", inside and signed, "PZ". Weight is approximately 4.78 grams, which includes the stone weight, of course.
This is a vintage piece, which has been worn and enjoyed. There will be the expected light surface scratches and possibly tiny dings in the silver from normal wear. This is a handcrafted ring, which will not be perfectly symmetrical nor machine-perfect in any other sense. The band is still round and true. There is no damage to the stone aside from two very tiny flea bite chips at one edge, visible only under a 10X loupe. Hand polished, but there will likely still be areas of missed tarnish, in addition to the fabulous patina intentionally preserved.
A strikingly bold and glorious vintage handmade Paz Sterling silver and amethyst ring. Truly astonishing attention to detail all around. Gorgeous color and sparkle in the stone. This absolute beauty of a ring will be noticed and admired. An exquisite piece!
