This pendant with a faceted amethyst brings a hint of muted violet to the neckline, one that shifts in intensity with every turn of the head. The stone is assessed for colour and clarity before it is set in silver, which is why it shows such a deep, even purple free of flaws. A single cubic zirconia is set beside the amethyst, adding a small flash of light without taking the spotlight away from the natural stone. In many jewellery traditions amethyst has been linked to calm and clarity of mind, and here that symbolism accompanies the pendant's simple, modern form.

The stone for this pendant was chosen with care, and exceptional quality at a fair price is the rule at Artipol, not the exception. Silver and good stones are steadily rising in price, so buying a pendant like this one today remains a sound decision. The metal is pure, refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other irritating additives, so this alloy doesn't irritate even sensitive skin. The rhodium layer on the surface is hard and scratch-resistant, so the shine doesn't fade with everyday wear or give way to tarnish. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal, and the European quality of the craftsmanship is visible in every detail of the setting.

Weighing 2.7 grams and medium in size, the pendant pairs well with a romantic style, a lace blouse, a dress in a soft pastel print or a collar that reveals the neckline. The violet of the amethyst brings out light, powdery shades and offers a soft contrast against white or beige. It works well with a sweetheart neckline, where the stone naturally draws the eye, and with simple, smooth sweaters, to which it adds a feminine touch. This is a pendant that easily combines delicacy with a clear, violet accent.
