This pendant with four amethysts pairs a classic form with a purple hue that draws light to the neckline. The faceted cut breaks the colour into subtle flashes, from deep purple to lighter violet, depending on the angle of light. The simple silhouette of the metal doesn't distract from the stone, keeping the whole piece elegant and easy to read along the neckline.

We select each of the four amethysts for colour and clarity, since these qualities define the stone's character. Silver and good natural stones are getting more expensive year on year, and stones with this depth of colour are harder to find today, so buying at this price makes sense now. The pendant is made of refined European sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - this metal protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts longer and cleaning is rarely needed. The alloy contains no nickel, which is most often responsible for skin reactions, so the piece can be worn without worry of allergic reactions. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the silver, confirming the European quality of the craftsmanship. Amethyst has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, and in some traditions it was regarded as a symbol of inner balance.

This pendant works well for a family celebration - paired with an elegant dress in a warm shade, under the soft, warm light of a hall or garden. The purple of the amethyst stands out clearly against a plain neckline and classic silver accessories, such as small earrings or a bracelet. A simple styling is enough to let the stone catch the eye without unnecessary excess.
