Tamara purchased the amethysts in this strand in Tucson from a gemcutter who travels the world looking for material to cut in interesting ways.

These amethysts are from Brazil and have been cut into hexagonal barrels with domed tops and bottoms. Inclusions and variation in colour among the amethysts add interest. The pieces graduate as you get to the centre of the necklace, and vary in length. The pieces are knotted simply with a white gold clasp.

The necklace is approximately 18 inches long.
