amethyst necklaces

Whether you prefer a classic, understated pendant or a colorful, artistic arrangement of gemstones, a good amethyst necklace is a versatile and beautiful piece of jewelry. Simple bezel settings in gold or silver look lovely when worn with everything from a cute party dress to a no-nonsense business suit, while large statement pendants dress up a simple, solid-colored dress or blouse for a more personalized look. Choose an elegant yet rough-cut amethyst pendant necklace from Alex and Ani for an earthy, natural air, or pair a sophisticated David Yurman piece with a matching amethyst ring for a modern, coordinated look. Silver settings provide a durable base and an attractive contrast to highlight the rich purple color of the amethyst, while yellow gold has a warmer, softer gleam. Rose gold is also growing in popularity due to the way the slight pink tint complements the pink tones in lighter amethysts. If you prefer a little more variety, consider a delicate string of multicolored gemstones from IPPOLITA, or check out bold statement pieces from VIANNA BRASIL. These artistic arrangements place rich purple amethysts between topaz, citrine and other semi-precious stones to bring out each individual color. Opt for designs with a diamond border to add extra sparkle to your necklace, and browse for a pair of diamond pearl earrings on sale to complete the look. If pendants aren’t your style, try out a caviar necklace made up tiny amethyst beads, such as those offered by LAGOS. Choose an amethyst necklace with gold, silver or tassel accents for a dressier look, or wear a delicate single-strand beaded design for a light, feminine style.
