Gold-and-amethyst ring (~22K), about 3-4 carats. 4.21 grams, size 1-3/4. A curious jewel with large, rectangular, high-quality "emerald-cut" amethyst mounted off-axis in a dainty little ring for a small lady's finger, perfectly intact, the stone quite dark and beautiful. While the odd mounting is not today's style, it was popular in the Spanish colonial era, as evidenced by the many emerald dress-mounts from the Atocha (for example). From the "Corrigans" site of the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to our Auction #2 (lot 451), with Sedwick photo-certificate from 2007.Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
