925 Silver Natural Amethyst Ring — Split Shank | Oval 4.98ct
Natural Amethyst Solitaire Ring in 925 Silver — Split Shank Band
A commanding 4.98 carat natural amethyst — oval mixed-cut, 10×13mm — elevated in a four-prong open-back setting on a polished 925 sterling silver split shank band. The split shank detail gives this ring an architectural quality that sets it apart from a plain solitaire — the band divides cleanly as it approaches the stone, framing it from below and adding visual depth without adding weight. At 3.07 grams total, it wears with confident lightness. The adjustable open band fits most finger sizes without resizing.
✦ A stone with a story. This amethyst was hand-selected through JewelHub's gemstone trade connections in India — sourced through decades of relationships rooted in Hong Kong Jade House, a family jewellery business with generations of gemstone expertise. Every stone in this collection has been chosen by eye, not algorithm.

Questions & Answers
Is this a real amethyst or synthetic?
This is a genuine natural amethyst — untreated and unenhanced, hand-selected through JewelHub's gemstone trade connections in India. It is not lab-created, synthetic, or colour-enhanced.
What is a split shank band?
A split shank is a band that divides into two as it reaches the stone setting, rather than meeting it as a single continuous shank. It frames the stone from below, adding visual width and an architectural elegance without extra bulk. It is a popular design in engagement and statement rings for exactly this reason — it makes the stone appear larger and more prominent.
Nearly 5 carats — will this feel heavy on my finger?
No — the total ring weight is just 3.07 grams. Amethyst has a low density relative to its visual size, which is part of why large amethyst stones are so wearable. The split shank also keeps the band light. You get the visual impact of a near-5ct stone without any discomfort.
Is the silver genuine 925?
Yes. The band is solid 925 sterling silver, hallmarked S925 on the inner shank. This is the same purity standard used in fine jewellery and meets UK assay standards.
How does the adjustable band work?
The open-shank design lets you gently press the band inward or outward to fit your finger. It starts at approximately UK N and adjusts comfortably to fit UK M–O. Adjust slowly and avoid over-widening repeatedly, as this can stress the metal at the opening over time.
Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes — amethyst is the birthstone for February and is associated with calm, clarity, and inner strength. Every JewelHub order includes a JewelGift™ surprise at no extra cost. See our gifting packaging options here.
How should I care for this ring?
Clean gently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and prolonged water exposure. Amethyst sits at Mohs 7 — durable for daily wear but can chip if knocked sharply. Store in a pouch when not wearing to protect both the stone and the silver finish.
