Lavender amethyst occupies a specific and appealing color territory: a light, cool-toned purple that is distinctly different from both the deep purple of traditional amethyst and the pink of rose quartz - a color that reads as sophisticated and contemporary rather than the more familiar gemstone tones. At 1.96 carats in an octagon cut in rhodium over sterling silver, the lavender stone has enough faceted surface to show its color with depth and the octagon's geometric precision adds architectural character to the color story. A ring for the customer who appreciates unusual gemstone color categories and wants a colored stone ring that differentiates itself from the expected amethyst purple.
