Chunky heavy early modernist ring with a large faceted genuine amethyst stone. With two tiny marks on the outside of the shank. One is 800 or 900 (I can't be sure which), for silver content, and the other is a tiny hallmark or maker's mark in a cartouche. Circa 1940.

The top is just over 3/4 ...

It has a very large cabochon amethyst and two baroque pearls in a heavy ca...
