3.37 Antique Victorian Amethyst Pendant Necklace 14k

This Victorian pendant necklace features a round cabochon amethyst weighing 3.37 carats, bezel set in 14 karat yellow gold. The pendant takes the form of a bulb-shaped hat pin conversion, a popular Victorian design where decorative hat pin tops were transformed into wearable jewelry.

The amethyst's cabochon cut creates a smooth, domed surface that shows off the stone's purple color in a softer way than faceted cuts would. Amethyst can range from light lavender to deep purple, and at 3.37 carats, this stone has substantial presence.

The gold has a brushed finish rather than high polish, which gives the metal a softer, textured appearance. The chain adjusts from 16 to 18 inches with a lobster clasp, positioning the pendant at a length that works for different necklines.
