A lovely subtley cross shaped amethyst and natural pearl lavalier pendant. At its centre is a large rectangular amethyst gemstone in a millgrain bezel setting. This has a wonderful lighter shade amethyst surrounded by tiny pearls, and two larger natural pearls set in a lavaliere drop.
 
There is so much detail in this gorgeous pendant, with a pearl set drop down bail loop for a chain. We have left the original fitting in place so that it can also be worn as a brooch.
