A heart-shaped polished amethyst in a silver-coloured setting – the stone's deep violet and the gentle heart form together make a tender yet elegant pendant. The piece is about 2.5 cm.
About amethyst
Amethyst is the violet variety of quartz, owing its colour to iron and natural irradiation. Its shade ranges from pale lavender to rich purple. In tradition it is known as a stone of calm and meditation, linked to the crown chakra. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect.
The heart shape
The heart is a universal symbol of love, which makes the amethyst heart pendant an especially popular gift. The polished, smooth surface brings out the stone's deep colour and glassy lustre, while the heart shape lends it a tender, heartfelt character.
Make
The pendant comes in a silver-coloured metal setting, without a cord, so you are free to choose a necklace or leather strap. Shape, colour and size may vary slightly from piece to piece.
Good to know
This is a natural mineral, so every piece is unique. It is best kept out of prolonged, strong sunlight, and wiped with a soft cloth.
