Victorian Amethyst and Seed Pearl Brooch/Pendant

This piece has sold. Its listing is kept here for archival purposes.

A spectacular Victorian Russian amethyst pin/pendant. Amethyst is a gem covering a wide range of quality and color, and the Russian amethyst is the cream of the crop. A very rich purple with hints of red fire, this 11mm cushion cut amethyst is surrounded by a seed pearl halo and set in 14k yellow gold.

The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that amethyst (a methustos - "not intoxicated") prevented drunkenness, and frequently wore it to prevent themselves from their own tomfoolery at the local neighborhood Bacchanalia.

Since no one wears brooches anymore, this would also make a beautiful pendant!
