The focal of this necklace is a gorgeous natural African amethyst with lovely saturated color yet still beautifully transparent.  
 
The gem measures at a sizable 18'' and is complimented by satin finish discs of 18k gold vermeil (solid sterling silver clad in 18k gold) for a contemporary flair and dangles beneath an 18k vermeil chain made in Italy with petite stations of tiny beads also known as satellite chain.
