Add a touch of minimal elegance to your bridal look with our purple amethyst backdrop necklace handcrafted in 14K gold filled. Made in a lariat style with natural amethyst gemstones wrapped onto our dainty cable chain. The drop slides along the chain in back and dangles a faceted pear briolette with a matching stone in the front. These stones were mined in Brazil. The necklace shown is 26" with a 6 inch drop and the model is petite. * Necklaces are 26 or 28 inch length and do not need a clasp because they are long enough to fit over your head. See our measuring instructions in slide 7. Materials: Natural amethyst gemstones pear briolette 8x6mm and 4mm round All metal components are 14k gold filled About Amethyst: Amethyst belongs to the quartz family of minerals and is the birthstone for those born in February or under the zodiac sign of Pisces. Although amethyst can be found in many places around the world, the largest deposits are found in Brazil. The purple color of this natural untreated gemstone comes from iron and aluminum deposits in the stone. Without the iron and aluminum, amethyst would be a colorless gemstone. Amethyst colors can vary from a light violet purple to a deeply saturated dark purple. The colors look best in natural daylight. If you have any questions just click "message seller" on our homepage.
