9CT WHITE GOLD OVAL AMETHYST & DIAMOND PENDANT
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
5Alright, my sparkle-hungry friends, prepare yourselves, because we have an absolute Amethyst beauty on our hands. This gorgeous 8x16mm Amethyst pendant is set in luxurious 9ct White Gold*, and frankly, it is here to make your jewellery box feel rather inadequate.*
This is not your average “oh, that’s pretty” pendant. Oh no. This little purple powerhouse was hand-set by the absolute sparkle wizards of Hatton Garden* — people who know exactly how to take a beautiful gemstone and turn it into something that makes you catch yourself staring at your own neck in shop windows.*
And that Amethyst is glorious. Rich, violet and effortlessly elegant, it has that wonderful ability to look completely at home with jeans and a jumper while simultaneously behaving as though it has been invited to a black-tie dinner. Basically, it's the jewellery equivalent of being able to drink Champagne in a pub without looking ridiculous.
A Pendant With History (and Plenty of Purple Drama)
Amethyst has been adored for centuries, and frankly, I can see why. Its beautiful purple colour has long been associated with royalty, spirituality and luxury, while ancient cultures attributed all manner of mystical properties to the stone.
Today, I’m less concerned with whether Amethyst can ward off the consequences of questionable life choices and more interested in the fact that it looks absolutely fabulous.
And then there's the fluted detail on the bale. Because apparently simply having a gorgeous Amethyst wasn't enough. The detailing adds that extra little flourish that takes the pendant from “lovely gemstone necklace” to “Oh, she's made an effort.”
Want to create the full purple extravaganza? There’s a matching ring and earrings available – because sometimes one fabulous Amethyst is simply not enough. And if purple isn't your particular colour of emotional support gemstone, this beauty can also be customised with Emerald, Tanzanite, Sapphire or Pink Sapphire*.*
And yes, you can have it in Yellow Gold too. Because I am nothing if not accommodating to your precious-metal whims.
Chain Not Included – But Don't Panic
This listing is for the pendant only*, because I believe in letting you choose the chain that suits you.*
However, I have chains galore, and if you purchase one with your pendant, I can offer you a discount on the chain*. Because if we're going to create a beautiful necklace, we might as well do it properly.*
Layaway Your Sparkle
You've fallen in love. Your bank account has not.
Fortunately, I offer layaway options*, so you don't have to choose between financial responsibility and owning something gorgeous.*
I simply require a 25–50% deposit, and you can then spread the remaining balance over up to six months. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments are all available, so you can choose the arrangement that suits you.*
The pendant is shipped as soon as it has been paid for in full, and PayPal is required for layaway.
Luxury jewellery on layaway. Basically, sensible financial planning wearing a fabulous hat.
The Nitty-Gritty: Because Size Matters
I’m all about honesty, darling, and these photographs have been taken using a macro lens, which means the pendant may appear larger on your screen than it actually is.
In reality, you're looking at a beautifully wearable 8x16mm Amethyst pendant*.*
So check those measurements before purchasing. You're not buying a medieval chandelier for your neck — you're buying an elegant, beautifully proportioned gemstone pendant designed to be worn and loved.
Jewellery Care – Because Even Purple Royalty Needs Looking After
Amethyst is a beautiful and relatively durable gemstone, but like all jewellery, it appreciates a little common sense.
I recommend removing your pendant before swimming, bathing, showering, exercising or doing anything involving enthusiastic quantities of chemicals. Perfume, hairspray, creams and cleaning products are also best kept away from your jewellery.
When you're not wearing it, store your Amethyst pendant somewhere safe, ideally in a soft pouch or jewellery box, away from harder gemstones that could scratch it.
And please don't leave it baking on a sunny windowsill for six months. Amethyst is gorgeous enough without asking it to develop a complicated relationship with the sun.
Shipping: Glamour Takes Time
Now, as much as I would love to apparate this purple sparkler directly onto your doorstep, I am, unfortunately, just one fabulous woman running the show.
If I have your piece to hand, I aim to dispatch it the same day. However, the vast majority of my jewellery comes to me first from my rather wonderful Goldsmiths, so please allow 5–7 working days for UK delivery.
International shipping can take anywhere from 5 to 30 working days depending on customs, postal services and the general international postal universe.
So, if you're ready to stop messing around with ordinary jewellery and bring a little violet glamour into your life, this 9ct White Gold & Amethyst pendant is waiting rather patiently to become the most fabulous thing around your neck.
