{"product_id":"soviet-era-14k-gold-filigree-amethyst-cocktail-ring","title":"Soviet-Era 14K Gold Filigree Amethyst Cocktail Ring","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eA striking example of mid-20th century Soviet goldsmithing, this bold cocktail ring pairs a richly saturated amethyst with an elaborately pierced gold mounting. The shank and shoulders are worked in open filigree, featuring a geometric lattice punctuated by curvilinear scroll motifs—a construction technique requiring considerable skill and one that gives the ring a remarkable lightness despite its substantial visual presence.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe center stone, an oval-cut amethyst, is held in a smooth bezel setting that frames the stone cleanly and lets its medium-to-deep violet color take center stage. The stone shows good transparency and lively faceting throughout.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe outside of the shank is stamped with the Soviet 583 hallmark (equivalent to 14-karat gold), along with a sickle and hammer state assay mark—a detail that firmly places this piece within the Soviet jewelry tradition, most likely from the 1960s–1970s. This is a wearable piece of Cold War-era craft history that works equally well as a statement ring or a conversation piece.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A.J.
