Custom 14k Yellow Gold Pendant with Chunky Emerald Cut Amethyst

Amethysts seem suited to statement pendants like this- they occur in larger sizes and make such a stunning visual impact. This particular piece is an estate item but was clearly custom made, painstakingly out of gold wire, for this huge emerald cut Amethyst. It’s really all about the center gem here, as the gold setting has discreet double claw prongs, a bail that mostly hides behind the gem, and subtle design elements that keep the Amethyst as the forward presence. This gem is a fantastic example of the species, a medium-dark purple, no unpleasant modifiers, no inclusions, just beautiful gem grade Amethyst at its finest. Contact us about chain options for this piece- it comes with a free gold plated sterling chain but looks great on longer gold chains, like the Figaro chain shown here.
