This beautiful, vibrant vintage ring featurs a stunning large, round-cut green stone often marketed as Prasiolite or Green Amethyst.
This eye-catching stone has a bright, lime-green color and a brilliant cut, making it sparkle wonderfully. It’s approximately 2.75 carats total weight (TCW). The impressive center stone is securely set in classic 10K white gold, flanked by a total of six sparkling accent stones (three on each side), which appear to be white sapphires or clear genuine gemstones.
Important Stone Note: Prasiolite is a rare natural quartz/amethyst. The majority of the beautiful green stones available on the market today, including this one, are heat-treated to achieve more brilliant color. This is a common and accepted industry practice. The ring is sized perfectly for a smaller finger or as a unique pinky ring.
Ring Details:
• Metal: 10K White Gold (Stamped or Tested)
• Center Stone: Prasiolite / Green Amethyst
• Approx. TCW: 2.75 Carats
Please review all photos carefully as they are an essential part of the description.

I used to have one similar. I think mine was Lisnor, but silvery with those beautiful rainbow blue rhinestones. 💙
