The rich violet of the amethyst reads differently from every facet - as the pendant moves, the colour shifts from cool purple to deep plum, and small flashes of light draw the eye to the neckline. The minimal setting steps back, letting the stone lead the whole composition. The form is compact and contemporary, with no unnecessary ornament.

Every amethyst in this collection was personally reviewed and selected - what matters is colour and clarity, not chance. Good amethysts are becoming increasingly rare, so this quality at this price is a well-judged choice. The pendant is made from refined sterling silver 925 - the European quality of the alloy means no harmful metal impurities, so the alloy does not cause allergic reactions. Rhodium covers the surface with a thin, hard layer that is resistant to scratching and keeps a bright shine for years. The French maker's mark stamped on the piece attests to the metal's origin.

For the weekend, the pendant works well with an oversized jumper in off-white or warm grey - the violet of the amethyst lifts a muted palette without breaking its character. A thrown-on scarf in oat tones or soft wool in a coffee shade brings out the cool note of the stone. A V-neck or a wide shirt collar gives the pendant the space it needs for the facets to work with the light.
