Vintage 9k Gold Amethyst Pendant · Hinged Bail · Diamond Accent

A beautifully considered vintage amethyst pendant with a thoughtful detail you don’t see every day — a hinged bail designed to accommodate more than a traditional fine chain.
 
The oval amethyst is generously sized and glows in soft violet tones, suspended beneath an elegant openwork setting finished with a petite brilliant cut diamond accent. The hinged bail opens the styling possibilities beautifully and allows it to sit on a bead necklace, pearl strand, ribbon, or a traditional chain.
 
Refined but quietly unusual — a piece with a little versatility built in.
