A lovely line of dark purple amethyst gemstones hangs from a sterling silver chain in the Tyrian birthstone necklace. A fabulous gift for a February birthday or just a great way to bring on winter!
The Tyrian necklace is inspired by my laboratory days in neuroscience working with sea slugs...otherwise known as aplysias. They would release the most brilliant purple dye when touched! When I saw these amethysts I was transported back to my college years. Tyrian purple is a natural dye that was once obtained from sea snails by the ancient phoenicians.
Four jumbo (each one 10mm) faceted AAA quality deep purple amethysts are the focal point for this simple but elegant necklace. A lovely dapped sterling silver cable chain completes the piece and is accentuated at the lobster clasp by two small faceted amethyst rondelles. Enjoy!!
