This necklace with three amethysts plays with shades of purple with every turn of the head. The faceted stones catch light from different angles, so their colour sometimes deepens into rich purple, sometimes flashes with a bright glint. The simple, modern chain doesn't distract from this play of colour - the form is light and distinctly contemporary. Amethyst has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, and in many cultures it also symbolized balance.

All three amethysts were chosen so that their shade and clarity match - this evenness is visible at a glance when the stones sit side by side. Such quality at a reasonable price is becoming increasingly rare, as good amethysts are harder to source today, and silver is rising in price along with other precious metals. The necklace is made of refined European 925 silver, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine for a long time. The alloy contains no nickel, so it does not cause allergies or irritation. The metal bears the French maker's mark - confirmation of its origin.

The chain measures 45 cm, and an adjustable 5 cm extension lets you fit it to your neckline and the line of your neck. In summer it pairs well with a linen dress in a light shade or a cotton shirt unbuttoned at the neck - the purple of the amethysts draws the eye against muted tones. It also works well with a simple, off-the-shoulder top, where the shorter, delicate chain highlights the neckline itself. In the evening it can be paired with a smooth, single-colour dress - the stones alone create the colour accent.
