Antique Silver Faceted Amethyst Cross Pendant

Since ancient times, the color purple has been considered the color of royalty. One reason for this was that purple dye was hard to come by and quite expensive. Another was because humans have always had a fascination with the purple amethyst stone, which was said to have powers of protection and wisdom. In Europe, amethyst was believed to keep the mind clear and cool, which was why it was worn by those in leadership positions, from bishops to generals to kings and queens! In Asia, the dusky purple stone was placed in special places in the home to attract wealth and ward off evil.

This exceptional Silver Amethyst Cross, made in 1920, is nothing short of regal. Each of the eleven square cut stones is faceted to let light through and refract beautifully. The shape of the whole is quite refined and simple, which lets the amethyst speak for itself in all its glory. The stones measure 8 mm by 8 mm each, and the pendant measures 66 mm high, 42.2 mm wide, and 6.1 mm deep.

This beautiful Silver and Amethyst Cross will bring a touch of the regal to your wardrobe. A timeless classic with a suggestion of something deeper.
