It's hard to describe the staggering beauty and grandeur of Argentina's Iguazu Falls in words. Even the most remarkable photographs fall short. As the white foam churns over the cliffsides, the roar of falling green water is deafening. The air is filled with cool, twinkling mist and at midday the sunlight bounces through the spray and sprouts enormous rainbows that straddle the treetops of the rainforest. It's nature's splendor on a truly grand scale.

I see the same kind of beauty reflected deep within our Green Amethyst & Diamond Ring...on a much smaller scale. These glittering gems are nature at her most precise, formed slowly over millions of years before being cut and polished by the steady hand of man. At the center of the 14k white gold ring is a hand-faceted, natural green amethyst (2-1/3 ctw) is surrounded by a halo of brilliant-cut natural white diamonds. The matching 14K white gold necklace features a dangling pendant with a checkerboard, cushion-cut green amethyst (3-1/3 ctw), outlined with 48 round-cut white diamonds. The 18" chain fastens with a lobster claw clasp. Each piece captures nature's majesty in miniature.
