Description Key Features MATERIALS: 9ct yellow gold, amethyst DIMENSIONS: Approx 20 inches long chain, drop is approx 70mm. ERA/HALLMARK: Art Nouveau era. Stamped 9ct. WEIGHT: 6.23g CONDITION: The necklace is in very good antique condition. It shows light surface wear consistent with age, however the settings remain secure and the chain feels strong. All amethysts are present, well matched, and free from damage. This Art Nouveau amethyst necklace makes a beautifully elegant statement piece, and it reflects the flowing, organic design language of the early 20th century. Crafted in warm 9ct yellow gold, it features graduated amethysts in cushion and pear cuts, arranged in a delicate drop formation. This antique necklace celebrates movement and light, therefore offering a refined and wearable example of period jewellery. Design & Craftsmanship The necklace is formed with a fine gold chain that supports a softly articulated central drop. At the top sits a square cushion cut amethyst, bezel set and angled slightly to catch the light. Below, a larger cushion cut amethyst is framed in gold and suspended by short chain links, which allow gentle movement. Two slender gold drops extend beneath, each finished with a pear cut amethyst in a fine bezel setting. The open construction and careful spacing give the necklace its fluid feel, while the goldwork remains light, balanced, and well proportioned. Why We Love This Necklace We love this Art Nouveau amethyst necklace because it feels graceful and expressive without feeling delicate or impractical. The design flows naturally with the body, and the amethysts bring a softness that feels calm and considered. It is the kind of piece that feels special every time it is worn, rather than reserved for rare occasions. Styling Ideas This is a necklace for people who appreciate jewellery with movement and design history. It sits beautifully at the collarbone, therefore working well with open necklines, fine knits, simple dresses and even bridalwear. Because the colour is gentle and balanced, it transitions easily from daytime wear to evening styling.
