Elemental design meets the mystical essence of the amethyst in this timeless piece. A deep, violet amethyst is embraced by a sinuous gold setting, reminiscent of molten metal shaped by the earth's forces. The stone’s regal hue has been revered for centuries, symbolizing wisdom, clarity, and spiritual protection.
The history of amethyst stretches back to ancient civilizations. In Greek mythology, the stone was believed to protect against intoxication—a belief reflected in its name, derived from the Greek word amethystos, meaning 'not drunk.' Legend tells of the god Dionysus, who, in a fit of rage, pursued a maiden named Amethyst. To save her, the goddess Artemis transformed her into a clear, crystalline stone. Regretful, Dionysus poured wine over the stone, giving it its deep purple hue and imbuing it with its renowned powers of clarity and calm.
Amethyst was treasured by the Egyptians, often used in burial jewelry to offer protection in the afterlife. During the Middle Ages, European royalty and clergy adorned themselves with amethyst, associating the stone with piety and divine wisdom. It was believed to enhance spiritual insight and keep the mind clear during prayer and meditation. Known as the ‘Bishop’s Stone,’ it remains a symbol of spirituality and royalty in some circles today.
The organic, fluid form of the gold setting mirrors the natural rhythms of the earth, creating a piece that feels both eternal and contemporary. Each curve and detail of the pendant reflects an understated elegance that transcends time.
A quiet statement of refined craftsmanship, this carries with it the weight of history and the mystique of the cosmos, designed for those who appreciate meaning and artistry in equal measure.
Why Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold is the best option if you:
1. Want to wear your piece forever or pass it down as an heirloom. Solid gold will last for centuries without degrading.
2. Want to invest in jewelry as an asset rather than an accessory. Gold traditionally appreciates in value and can always be melted down and made into a new piece
Unlike many brands, our gold is never hollow - it is always 100% solid, cast using the lost wax method, meaning there is a lot more gold in each piece.
Our gold is 100% certified recycled and each piece is handcrafted here in New York.
