Throughout antiquity, amethyst was one of the gems most prized for adornment. Its rich purple, the color of the sky at dusk, is the shade traditionally associated with royalty. This dramatic necklace, blending radiant amethyst with bright gold and a silver coin from the height of the Roman Empire, would surely have caused a sensation in the palaces of the classical world. Wherever it is worn today, it is certain to have a similar impact on the senses. - (FJ.4145)
