$35.00
We've spent the past few days soaking in the particular beauty of ancient times, and created a group of jewelry pieces that would blend right in to the scenery of ancient Egypt, Greece, or Rome. The choice of stones, the cuts of the beads, the way the gems are paired with gold-tone metal are chosen to evoke a set of times and places that shared a certain aesthetic.
This piece features graduated, hand cut, ovoid purple amethyst beads interspersed with small embellished brass beads, closes with a simple hook clasp, and measures just over 15 inches long. The transparent lavender-purple beads catch the light in such a way that you immediately understand the numerous magical powers ascribed to the stone.
Due to conquests and cultural exchanges, it's appropriate for much of the ancient world. Amethyst was much used in ancient Greece and Rome through most stages of the Byzantine Empire into medieval European times. Amethyst became increasingly common in Egyptian jewelry as it came under influence and conquest by the Greek and Roman empires. It's extremely versatile and can also be worn with a range of contemporary attire. Consider it your own modern treasure.
