This 8.05 carat jamunia sits in a useful middle ground. It looks generous in a ring, yet it is light enough to hang from a thin chain without pulling.

It is a natural amethyst, laser cut and purple, with the reference AG-000247. Our full amethyst category shows comparable stones if you want to line a few up.

Setting it

Purple looks good in silver, and we can discuss a custom silver ring setting with you on WhatsApp. Claws show off the facets, while a bezel adds protection. At 7 on the Mohs scale it is hard enough for regular use, as long as it is not banged against edges.

Heating to lighten colour does happen with amethyst, though not to every stone. Ask about this one and we will tell you what we know. The parcel travels by insured, tracked courier, and when it arrives you can open it and inspect the stone before paying.

Karachi usually receives it in 1–2 working days, other cities in 2–4; pay on delivery after a look, with 7 days to return. Read our amethyst guide before choosing.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale amethyst rates 7. It handles daily wear, but a hard knock can still nick an exposed corner, so a protective setting is a sensible choice. Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and keep it away from abrasive cleaners and high heat.

Whoever you buy amethyst from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every amethyst for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
