The deep purple of four amethysts sets the tone for this pendant on the neckline almost from first glance. The faceted cut breaks light across many small facets, so the stone's colour shifts in intensity with every movement of the head - from cool plum to a deep, saturated purple. The form is simple and modern, without unnecessary embellishments, so all attention stays on the stone itself and its colour. In jewelry tradition, amethyst has been associated with calm and clarity of mind, and its purple has long been linked with balance.

Each of the four amethysts was chosen for its colour and clarity, free from internal clouding that would diminish its beauty. Silver and good coloured stones rise in price year after year, which makes a pendant of this quality at this price a sensible choice today. Refined European silver 925 has been coated with a layer of rhodium, which protects the surface against tarnishing and blackening - as a result, the shine lasts longer and cleaning is needed less often. The pure alloy, free of nickel and other sensitising additives, is safe even for sensitive skin. The French maker's mark on the metal confirms its origin.

The pendant works well in a total-black look - a black turtleneck top or a simple black sweater makes the best backdrop for the amethysts' purple, which really catches the eye against it. Along the neckline, the metal and stone come together in a calm yet distinct composition, with no extra decoration to distract from it. This is jewelry for everyday wear and special occasions alike, always in close contact with the skin at the neck.
