It weighs in at approx 10-12 cts!
The gemstone is a lovely faceted Amethyst drop that just needed a little TLC it has many inclusions that give it a great deal of character, for me it was love a first sight. At our consultation we discussed what this piece might become.
Because it is already drilled and immediately yelled focal piece my suggestion was a bracelet or a necklace of course, it would be paired with something completely opposite and unexpected. This was definitely a collaborative effort because, my make up artist friend was there and suggested something green.. Awesome idea!
This is the end result....
I selected the peacock green fresh water pearls, though they are primarily green, they have deep purple undertones.
Amethyst and Fresh water Pearls meet..
The Finished piece .. the purple Amethyst blends wonderfully with the Peacock green pearls since they have a purple undertone that color is picked up and is enhanced by the pendant.

Amethyst is found in many areas, including Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Africa, and Russia.

In folklore and mythology amethyst has many supernatural powers:
Amethyst purportedly brings luck, ensures constancy, protects against magic, prevents home-sickness, and (though I can't confirm or deny) ... it is said it protects against drunkenness. :o)
