Victorian Amethyst Heart Pendant
What an adorable little gem. Two things make this special, in my opinion. One, is the colour; the pale hue of purple is just divine, pinky and mauve at times, it changes depending on what is behind it. Sometimes it looks dusky which I love. Second is the shape; the heart is almost naïve in shape, lacking a cleft, it reminds me of much older hearts from the early Georgian period. Seriously gorgeous.
Set in an intricate 9ct mount which compliments the amethyst while keeping it safe, this is a beautiful little pendant which I struggled list, and not squirrel away!
