Beautiful Pianegonda huge statement ring.  Raw huge amethyst stone.  The ring is a size 6.5 - 7 on the ring sizer.  The band is thick sterling silver with rhodium plating to keep from tarnishing.  The amethyst stone is smooth finished with the beautiful colors showing.  The stone is about 3/4 inch wide and over 1/2 inch tall.  The stone is set on top of the thick band.  The ring is pre-loved with scratching on the band.  It can be polished but I have not done so.  I feel it adds to the charm of this beauty.  It is a comfortable magical ring.  Made by Franco Pianegonda, rare and beautiful, made in Italy  in the 90's.
