This Amethyst stone is set into a simple Sterling Silver basket mounting.  The stone weighs in the neighborhood of 6 carats, and measures 14x10mm.  It is roughly the size of a dime, only oval.

Look closely at the prongs, and the rest of the setting -- we use a nice, thick structure so that your jewelry will last and last. (Your daughter will love it when she inherits this from you.)

Also, one other thing about most semi-precious stones-- the larger the stone, the better the color and fire.  This is a good medium sized stone -- too large for some ladies, not enough attitude for others, but just perfect for many of you!
