Vintage solid 14k gold wide band ring RARE PURPLE/VIOLET SAPPHIRE stone. Has evident wear but the stone is unharmed, big difference between the hardness and durability of purple sapphire and amethyst which is softer, less durable and less expensive. Band has scuffs but remains perfectly round and has maintained its original shape! Lots of life left to give new owner who loves vintage things and rare jewels!
