An amethyst pendant sits just below the throat, right where people look when they talk to you. No two are exactly alike: a single crystal often mixes pale and deeper patches, so every stone has its own shading of purple.
Amethyst on its own, or set in a design?
The Ombeline necklace keeps the focus on the stone: a faceted amethyst on a fine gold-tone stainless steel chain, adjustable from 40 to 45 cm and weighing just 4.5 g. The Heart's Serenity pendant is the stone itself, cut into a 20 x 29 mm faceted heart. Other designs let you pick amethyst as your stone: the Cat pendant, the Little Winged Guardian in stainless steel, or Radiance of Yesteryear, with an openwork pattern inspired by antique ornaments. Just choose the Amethyst option.
What the purple stone stands for
Amethyst is the stone of temperance and perspective, the one to keep close when you want to find your calm. It's a natural companion for quiet moments: a few deep breaths with your eyes closed, a few minutes of meditation. It also pairs beautifully with rose quartz, a duo for calm and tenderness. Handily, Radiance of Yesteryear and Heart's Serenity both come in the two stones: one to give, one to keep.
Keeping its purple bright
Amethyst is a hard-wearing quartz, 7 on the Mohs scale, but strong sun over long periods can fade its color. Take your pendant off before a long day in the sun and store it out of direct light. To clean the stone, a little lukewarm water and a soft cloth are all you need. Our amethyst guide covers where it comes from and the legends behind it.
Every necklace comes in a linen pouch, ready to give, and shipping is free on 2+ items. To build a set, see our amethyst bracelets and all our amethyst jewelry. Bead necklaces and malas are in our amethyst necklaces collection.
