Deep, dark amethyst crystals are elegantly wrapped in an intricate web of square copper wire in a design featuring graceful curves and braids. These pendants are reversible: both sides feature a matching pair of decorative loops, one above and the other - its mirror image - below. Either side of the pendant can be worn outward. The copper wire is also used to create the unique bail.
The pendants are available in two basic shapes: Long/Thin and Short/Thick. Approximate sizes of each are shown in the photos.
These particular amethyst crystals have a gorgeous dark purple color, which can be quite difficult to find.
About Amethyst: Amethyst is a semiprecious gemstone that comes in varying shades of violet, from lavender to vibrant dark purple. The word Amethyst comes from the Greek word améthystos, meaning "not intoxicated". Ancient Greeks thought it was useful against overindulgence and both wore it as jewelry and carved drinking vessels from it. It is thought to be a stone of tranquility, calmness, and peace, and is considered to be one of the most powerful and protective stones.
About Copper: Please note that copper wire naturally darkens over time although with care and cleaning it can be kept bright and shiny. Also, when worn directly against skin, copper can react with your sweat to form a green layer of copper carbonate. This chemical reaction is not harmful, but if it bothers you, we recommend only wearing the pendant on top of clothing.
