Cut Back Collet Set Amethyst Necklace by Ancient Influences

I have added gorgeous deep purple amethysts in cut back collet bezels to lengths of 9ct gold chain, creating a luxurious necklace. The natural amethyst-set clasp and front pendant, as well as the pretty chain, are all original to the mid 1800s. I have added a period hook to suspend your favorite bits & bobs. I love making these special old pieces wearable again.

From the Married Chains Collection by Ancient Influences. All of the ingredients in this necklace are recycled and vintage. I love using vintage findings, and am thrilled by the discovery of just the right split ring, findings, or hook for a piece.

Details.....The wearable length of the necklace is 17.25", the clasp is 9.5mm, and the amethyst hook drop is 29mm. The piece weighs 11.8 grams.

Each item from this line of jewelry is unique and incorporates re-purposed vintage and antique pieces. Small imperfections are to be expected and considered part of their charm.
