9ct Gold Amethyst Heart Charm
Edwardian 9ct gold charm. Set with amethyst. Unmarked.
£80
Description
A 9ct gold heart pendant set with a faceted amethyst in a soft lilac shade, closer to lavender than to deep purple. The heart sits high in a crown of gold claws above a twisted rope border, which lets light in around the stone so the facets catch it as you move. It began life as the centre of a bar brooch and has been converted in our workshop to wear as a pendant, with a 9ct jump ring added at the top for a chain. Bar brooches were a favourite way to fasten a collar in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, and their centres often make the prettiest pendants. The name amethyst comes from the Greek for "not drunk", as the ancient Greeks believed the stone kept its wearer clear-headed, we're not saying it'll keep you sober this Christmas but it may well put a smile on someone face!
