A rich, textural vintage necklace composed of irregular amethyst chip beads strung into a single continuous strand. The stones range from soft lilac to deep violet, creating natural variation and depth throughout the piece. The organic, unpolished cuts give the necklace a raw, mineral-forward presence rather than a refined or faceted look.
The strand closes with a simple cylindrical metal clasp, understated and functional, allowing the amethyst itself to remain the focal point. When worn, the necklace sits fluidly against the body, reading as intuitive, earthy, and intentional — more talismanic than decorative.
This piece feels aligned with late-20th-century crystal and metaphysical jewelry trends, particularly popular from the 1970s through the 1990s, when natural stone strands were worn for both aesthetic and symbolic reasons.
Materials
Based on visual inspection, this necklace appears to include:
Measures approximately 30 inches end to end; when worn as a continuous loop, the hang length is about 13 inches.
Natural amethyst chip beads
Metal tube clasp (likely silver-tone or base metal)
Stones appear genuine and untreated, with natural inclusions and color variation consistent with real amethyst.
