This classic, yet timeless necklace can be worn for almost any occasion. The regal purple color of the 8.17 ct amethyst center stone stands out among the blend of silver, black and classic yellow gold tones of the necklace’s metals. The heavy wheat style chain and the majority of the sturdy pendant are made of sterling silver treated with black rhodium to give a dark, radiant luster with a cool, edgy feel. The prongs which hold the amethyst in place are made of 18 kt yellow gold, further accentuating its lovely purple color.
Gordon’s Design Notes: I wanted to gain experience with consumer response to sterling silver jewelry, but was reluctant to create my own line at this time. I decided, instead, to start by offering a few products manufactured by other companies. It had to be the right product and company, though. After seeing this piece, I felt it fit perfectly with other pieces in my collection.
Price: $800 NOTE: Sold only as a complete necklace; pendant is not sold separately.
