Amethyst Jewelry

Up until the 18th century, the Amethyst was considered to be amongst the cardinal gems, along side diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald. For a time it's wear was reserved only for royalty and the rich purple color has long been associated with nobility. This fantastic pendant boasts a rich purple stone with a deep velvety feel, it makes you understand why Royalty used to claim this most regal of stone all to itself! 

Hand crafted in 9 karat gold with a 15 karat bale, this lovely pendant would have taken a skilled jeweler quite a while to make, the gorgeous scalloped frame and beautifully matched and set pearls are simply inspired. The pendant is set with 42 creamy half pearls with a pinkish undertone in the nacre. The amethyst is an oval faceted cut which measures 15.5 mm x 11 mm x 9 mm deep and weighs approximately 8.13 carats. Overall the pendant is 33 mm long including the bale, 21 mm wide at the widest point and 9 mm deep and weighs 4.3 grams. It is not hallmarked but has been carefully acid tested to verify content. 

This is a fantastically regal pendant which would look equally wonderful on a chain or simple black cord and could be worn with anything from blue-jeans to ball-gowns!

My lord, but those pale violet eyes took his breath away. He tried every holiday, every birthday, every anniversary, to find something that would match the intensity and the beauty in her irises. This New Year’s, he was sure he found a match. Amethysts can’t go wrong because they are oh, so right. Bold and bright, precious and mesmerizing. This year, she wouldn’t just giggle and ‘awww’ at his attempt. This year, her jaw would drop and her eyes would hardly blink because she just couldn’t get enough.

Women of 100 years ago fought for their right to vote. They expressed their opinions in a multitude of ways, ranging from protests to the fashions they chose to adorn themselves in. At protests and demonstrations, women in England wore green, white and violet, which blended into a tricolored rainbow of activism, standing in for Give Women the Vote.

They wore pins, medallions, and buttons, with phrases such as, “Votes For Women” or “No Vote, No Tax”. There is no doubt that this type of jewelry existed, but how much and what kind, is up for debate. In the Mappin & Webb catalog for Christmas in 1908, there was a page of Suffragette jewelry that included five pieces, brooches and pendants, that were made with emeralds, amethysts, and pearls – the three suffragette colors. Outside of this evidence, it’s hard to say if a pendant like this one, crafted during the Edwardian era with the same colors, was meant for the same purpose or not. Some like to say that these pieces were in abundance, while some experts say there were only a few. Politics have an inevitable effect on fashion, so the linkage isn’t nonexistent. The trends of the times included similar colors, so which came first?

As far as I can tell, the 'The Women's Social and Political Union' in England was a group of courageous and strong women who stood up as one and demanded to be counted. The colors of the flags they waved and the buttons they wore were purple, to symbolize the instinctual need in all of us for freedom and dignity, white, to symbolize purity, and green, symbolic of hope and the color of spring and new life.

This antique Art Nouveau English drop pendant was handcrafted around 1905. It was made in 9 karat gold during the Arts and Crafts movement in England. It features two green peridot gemstones measuring 1.7 x 1.7 x 1.1 mm each, with a faceted oval amethyst at the center, measuring 9 x 6.5 x 4.7 mm and weighing approximately 1.46 carats. A lustrous natural white pearl drops at the bottom and measures 4.5 x 4.3 x 4.8 mm. Overall, this graceful piece measures 43.6 x 22 x 5.3 mm. It has been hallmarked with the gold purity content mark, “9ct”.

Whether this pendant was inspired by the suffragette movement or not we will never know for sure. What we do know, however, is how elegant, classic, and charming this piece is.

Every time I'm in London I try and sneak a couple of hours to myself to visit Liberty's of London on Regent Street in the West End. This last trip, however, I just didn't have the time to head over to Liberty & Co.. I'd promised my husband some of this special Chocolate he likes and decided to spend my spare moments shopping for him. When I exited the chocolate shop on New Bond Street, I accidentally went right instead of left and got a bit turned around. Imagine my delight when I popped out onto Regent Street, right across from Liberty's! If fate tells you to go look at Arts & Crafts jewelry, you simply must listen! 

This is the kind of jewelry that I personally love to wear. Murrle, Bennett & Co. is one of my favorite designers, their Arts & Crafts style just speaks to my soul. The clean lines, the smooth and bright cabochon amethyst gem, the weighty feel and fantastic details, all speak to the designer in my soul. 

The pendant was lovingly handcrafted in sterling silver and set with a cabochon amethyst gem in a bright violet color, a natural river pearl hangs below. The pendant was made by the famed Murrle Bennett and Company, an Anglo-German firm started by Ernst Murrle and JB Bennett, which produced pieces for retail by the very store I stood in, Liberty & Co., famous London Arts and Crafts dealers. The company of Murrle Bennett was in existence from 1886-1914, this pendant was most likely made around 1900-1910. It is marked on the back with the Murrle Bennett and Co mark and with a 950 stamp indicating the purity of the silver as fine silver. The overall size is 43 mm from the top of the bale to the bottom of the pendant and 20 mm across, it weighs 9.3 grams. This pendant hangs on a lovely hand crafted silver chain that is 18” long, it is unmarked and I don’t know if it’s original to the pendant, but it’s lovely and looks great with it. 

Pendants like this one get noticed, and garner many a compliment. Wear it with everything, from flip flops to full black tie!

She stood underneath the summer moon, barefoot in a long floral skirt, smelling the honeycomb in the air. Her sandy blonde hair was parted down the middle and her bold brown eyes watched the wind blow by. She turned her transistor radio up to here the long-ago jazz play against the night’s heat. She danced with him, swaying and swirling, just the two of them and the crickets. As she twirled her skirt and pearl necklace followed, like a carousel around her.

There is a man that I always like to stop by and see when I’m Portobello Road on a Saturday morning in London.

She wore it so casually around her neck, with her crisp white button down blouse and black jeans. And yet it stood out like a full moon on a clear night, giving off tiny violet flecks of light.

The amethysts only added to the wonder of the architectural masterpiece, making her smile seem even brighter than it already was.

Rain dripped from the sky like sand through an hourglass, counting the seconds as the afternoon passed. She sat outside, in the summertime heat, under the roofing of her front porch, with iced tea and a big slice of lemon. She watched as children ran and jumped in puddles, as dogs chased their owners down just to shake water on them. Dragonflies fluttered between raindrops, racing each other, dashing back and forth, leaving blurs of neon in their wake. Her cotton dress had its own golden dragonfly, pinned near her heart, so she could take summer with her wherever she decided to go.

The word, “amethyst” originates from the Greek word, “amethystos”, which is translated to, “not drunken”. The gemstone was considered an antidote to intoxication by the ancient Greeks and Romans. They crafted drinking vessels from the stone, believing it would prevent drunkenness.

During medieval times, European soldiers wore amethyst amulets to protect them in war, believing the stone could calm their minds, clear their heads, and heal their wounds. Leonardo Da Vinci attributed amethysts to the power of intelligence. He thought the stone had the ability to dissipate evil thoughts. Buddhists in Tibet use amethysts in their prayer beads for wisdom, a clear mind, spiritual awareness, and healing.

During the 18th century, extensive deposits of amethysts were discovered in Brazil causing the gemstone to lose its coveted value.

She was the non-traditional kind. She preferred combat boots to t-straps and geometrically patterned cardigans to tailored pea coats. So when he bent down on one knee in the middle of the Carlsbad Caverns with stalactites and stalagmites all around, she said yes and threw her hands over her mouth before he even asked the question, “Darling, will you marry me?” He still said his speech – something about eternity and adventures and togetherness. He still opened the box and revealed the precious gem hidden inside. Her eyes grew wider than he thought was possible and they spent the rest of the day discussing in-laws and types of cake.
