The deep violet of eleven faceted amethysts catches the eye from the very first glance at this pendant. Each facet catches the light differently, and as the pendant turns, the colour shifts from a dark purple to a lighter, almost pinkish shade. Jewellers of the past associated amethyst with calm and clarity of mind, treating it as a symbol of inner balance. The pendant's classic form does not distract from the stone - it is the stone that leads the whole composition.

Only amethysts of even, saturated colour go into this pendant, matched so that none of the eleven stones stands out from the rest. Quality like this at a reasonable price is becoming rarer, as good stones and silver keep rising in price, so today's price on this pendant makes sense. The metal is refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps the shine lasting longer. The alloy is free of nickel and other irritating additives, so the pendant can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The maker's mark stamped on the silver, registered with the French assay office, attests to the origin of the metal.

On the neckline, this pendant sounds best in an all-black styling - a black top with an open neckline or a thin turtleneck creates a backdrop against which the violet of the amethysts becomes a clear point of light. Such a combination works both in the office and in the evening, when a touch of colour is needed against a simple, classic neckline. The pendant weighs 2.2 grams, so it wears light and easy all day long.
