This is a wonderful ring. It would work well as a cocktail, dinner, every day, anniversary or even an engagement ring. There is a single rectangular apparently emerald cut genuine natural amethyst set between two rows of 3 clear crystals. The amethyst is a gorgeous shade of deep purple and has excellent color and clarity. The band has a textured front and a polished back. This ring is genuine 10 k white gold polished to a high mirror shine. It has that warm glow and luster that only real gold has. The inside of the band is marked 10 K and the piece weighs about 2.8 g.
