Vintage Amethyst Riviere Necklace 18ct Gold

This regal vintage amethyst riviere necklace is adorned with twenty-eight natural amethysts exhibiting a deep-violet hue and diamond-shaped briolette facets that glitter beautifully in the light. They weigh approx. 3ct each and contrast beautifully against bright 18ct yellow gold frames. 

Amethyst’s regal purple-violet hue has been a favourite of kings and royalty throughout history and was said to provide clarity, protection, and wisdom to the wearer. Legend also links Saint Valentine to the stone, as he was said to have worn an amethyst ring carved with Cupid, making it the birthstone for February and a popular Valentines gift as well.

Dating to the late 20th century, this silky 18ct gold amethyst necklace features a luxurious array of natural amethysts, held by a reliable ring clasp at the end. It measures 18 inches and drapes gracefully around the neck, making it perfect for glamorous occasions.
