Edwardian Amethyst Cigar Band bracelets A remarkable Victorian memorial ringAn Edwardian era cigar band set with a bright purple amethyst cabochon. It's crafted in solid gold throughout, and unusually features a gap right at the back of the band opposite the stone. Why? Possibly to allow the band to 'give' a little as it's slipped over the knuckle letting it fit the finger more snugly when worn. Maybe. It's a curious design, for sure. Era: Edwardian, circa 1910 Ring size: N or 6. 75 US Width at head: 7. 5mm Stone: Amethyst
