This is a 1970s vintage amethyst pendant, modelled in 18k yellow gold.

Jewellry from the 70s drew inspiration not only from hippie and bohemian influences, but from disco glam in funky shapes and colours.

Long pendant necklaces were “in,” and this one typifies the best example of retro chic.

This pendant features a 50-carat glorious light pinkish purple modified brilliant cut amethyst with sparkling light flashing through its facets.
