Long Amethyst & Silver Necklace – 104 cm – Long Sautoir with Large Silver Beads

Long Amethyst & Silver Necklace – 104 cm – Long Sautoir with Large Silver Beads An elegant and substantial long necklace combining natural amethyst crystal beads with high-grade tested silver beads. At 104 cm / 41 in, it can be worn as a long sautoir or doubled around the neck for a shorter two-strand look. The polished amethyst beads display attractive natural variations from pale lilac to deeper purple, with the inclusions and tonal variations characteristic of natural stone. They alternate with several styles of silver beads: large ribbed spheres, richly patterned beads and smaller polished silver spacers. The generous proportions and substantial 164 g weight give the necklace a luxurious presence. Finished with a secure silver screw clasp. 🔴 Materials & Craftsmanship Natural amethyst crystal High-grade tested silver Several different designs of silver beads Polished silver spacer beads Tested silver screw clasp The contrast between the translucent purple amethyst and the textured silver is particularly effective. 🟢 Measurements & Weight Length: 104 cm / 41 in Weight: 164 g Largest silver bead: approx. 1.9 cm / 0.75 in diameter Largest amethyst bead: approx. 1.3 cm / 0.51 in diameter This is a substantial, relatively heavy necklace. 🔵 Origin & Period Vintage necklace. The precise geographic origin of the silver beads is uncertain. The different bead designs suggest decorative influences from traditional ethnic silverwork, but I would avoid assigning a specific geographic origin without further documentation. 🟣 Condition Very good vintage condition with light signs of previous wear. The amethysts naturally vary in color, transparency and internal inclusions. The silver shows a pleasant patina that emphasizes the relief of the decorated beads. 🟠 How to Wear Today Its 104 cm length makes this necklace particularly versatile: worn long as a single-strand sautoir doubled for a fuller two-strand look The combination of amethyst and sculptural silver makes it equally suitable with casual clothing or a more sophisticated outfit. 🟤 Ethical & Preloved Jewelry A distinctive vintage necklace made from durable natural stone and silver, intended to be worn and enjoyed again while preserving its existing materials and character. ⚫ Shipping Information ✓ Carefully packaged ✓ Tracking ✓ Orders over €100 insured ✓ Phone number may be required 🌍 Customs & Import Duties ✓ 🇪🇺 European Union: No customs duties or import taxes are payable on deliveries within the European Union. ✓ 🇺🇸 United States: Your order is shipped DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).
