The saturated violet of seven amethysts opens into full brilliance in this pendant's faceted cut. Each stone was assessed individually, before setting, for depth of colour and clarity within. As the hand moves or the pendant turns on its chain, the facets catch the light and for a moment flash with a deeper glint of purple. The ring's form has a vintage line, and the seven stones fall into a gentle curve reminiscent of pendants from an era when violet was considered an exceptional colour. In jewellery tradition amethyst has been linked to calm and clarity of mind, treated as a symbol of inner balance.

The same principle governs the choice of all seven amethysts: colour and clarity are what count, and a high-quality stone need not mean a high price. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, and good-quality stones like these are becoming scarcer, so buying at this price makes sense today. The pendant's core is refined European silver 925, and the fineness confirms the purity of an alloy free of nickel and harmful additives. A layer of 18-carat gold at least 5 microns thick is deposited on the silver, in line with the vermeil standard confirmed by the struck V mark. It is this gold, not the silver, that touches the skin, giving a lasting shine and a noble tone. The whole piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal.

The pendant sits naturally in the neckline, which is why it works well with a boat-neck top. For everyday wear, pair it with a soft sweater in cool grey or a cotton turtleneck for a monochrome look - the violet of the amethysts immediately draws the eye against a quiet background. In winter it suits a wool scarf tied around the neck, in summer a linen shirt with an open collar. At 1.2 g, the pendant sits light and doesn't weigh you down even when worn for longer stretches.
