Charles Albert Fine Sterling Silver Faceted Purple Gemstone Ring

A gorgeous ring created by Charles Albert featuring a large oval faceted purple gemstone in a solid sterling silver setting.  This stone is interesting because it changes color from pinkish lavender to darker purple depending on the light.  On a gem tester it falls in the tourmaline and iolite range but I am unsure exactly what type of gemstone it is.  The band is very thick and heavy making this a substantial ring.  The band is adjustable and is currently at a size 8.  Charles Albert has these style of rings custom made by Mexican artisans and they retail at $176-$209 depending on the stone used.

Condition: In excellent to very good condition with some light scratching. There are some lines on the inside of the bottom of the band that are not seen when worn.
