<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 39324, member: 36"]I'm officially drooling. It's unusual and with a much higher grade amethyst than you generally see now; stones that dark sell at a premium when they're natural. The Victorians didn't heat treat or dye stones. My guess would be American if it's unmarked 10k; the Brits generally marked the snot out of everything. Still do. Even that small someone will put it on a chain and wear it. Women came that tiny way back; it's a lady's ring, just for someone who had small hands even back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
