Winter Amethyst Adriatic Splendor Necklace

Seven pillow-rectangle amethyst stations cross the collar, pale lavender shading toward mid-purple, each one held in place by a frame of iridescent blue bugle beads built into triangles. The fringe falls in six strands: purple, pink, red, and iridescent blue in alternating bands, each strand ending in a tumbled amethyst drop. At the center, a diamond of beadwork hangs from the lowest stone. The red and blue keep the purple honest. This is not a soft piece.

Pair it with a soft cashmere sweater, a charcoal silk dress, or a deep aubergine wool turtleneck. For candlelit dinners, theater nights, or any winter evening where low light is doing the work.
