SquareTrade © AP6.0For the fashion forward woman, this gorgeous, rare natural Ametrine pendant with a BRAND NEW FANCY CUT! Big, bold, regal genuine Ametrine in a stunningly beautiful new bold and exciting (and still rare) cut: a Blended Ametrine Swirl, with a gorgeous seldom-seen convex buff top (8.80 carats of genuine natural Ametrine). Amethyst, a natural purple member of the quartz family, and Citrine, a natural yellow quartz, are frequently found growing together in a natural formation known as Ametrine. The Anahi mine in Bolivia is the source of most of the world's fine Ametrine. Generally Ametrine was traditionally cut into rectangular shaped gemstones (emerald cut or cushion cut), displaying one end, or a diagonal section, of Citrine and the other end (or section) of Amethyst. Such natural, genuine Ametrine gemstones, cut in such traditional styles are beautiful and often costly. Some gem cutters have begun cutting newer, fancy styles of Ametrine, including blending the gemstone borders together in various newer rare fancier cuts and newer shapes, one of which is this Blended Ametrine. This cut usually involves giving brilliant cuts to the pavilion, mixed with added step cuts to the girdle. It's a stunning & seldom seen fancy cut for the woman who like to be "ahead of the crowd".
This exquisite pendant, the RARE round Ametrine cut known as "Blended Ametrine Swirl" is a particularly stunning variation on the always gorgeous natural Ametrine. Smoothly rounded, very highly polished convex Buff Top adds the final touch of class to this luscious pendant. These Blended Ametrine Swirl gemstones are reminiscent of old-fashioned Christmas hard candy. The rich purple of Amethyst and the soft, golden glow of Citrine blend seamlessly in this big 14mm (8.80ctw) ROUND swirl-cut buff-top pendant in a fine, high quality simple yet very elegant solid 14K White Gold basket, highly polished. The bail is 2mm.
In this pendant the Ametrine leans more strongly toward the Amethyst color. The color blend is a beautiful medium to strong, rich LAVENDER PURPLE with slight PINKISH hints Amethyst, blended with a soft medium GOLDEN YELLOW Citrine. The saturation in this amazing natural Ametrine gemstone is even, and moderate to intense, with great reflection and glow. With a buff-top you get reflection, rather than sparkle: the light captures & flashes off the gemstone marvelously, and is noticeable across a room. The gemstone pavilion is faceted into dimensional swirls you can feel with your fingers (as seen from the photo of the back of the gemstone, below). The top, (the table) is polished into a glassy-smooth buff top which reflects everything in sight. As the gemstone is moved about, you see now more of the Amethyst color, and then more of the Citrine color. The buff top is easy to keep clean: (a good thing, because people will be asking for a closer look at your fascinatingly fashion-forward Ametrine pendant).
Ametrine is a superb gemstone; not only for its unique beauty, but the practical value of being able to wear this lovely jewel with both your Amethyst and your Citrine jewelry! Alluring Ametrine is a hard 7 on the Mohs' scale, a tough, durable jewel which will last you for a lifetime to become a cherished family heirloom. The fashion-forward woman should jump on these beautiful newer-cut Ametrine varieties, which are still very rare, and so far, available only in very limited quantity. Estimated retail value approximately $980.00+ if you could find such an item selling elsewhere - in a high end designer/jeweler's boutique would be most likely. Shipped in an attractive presentation case.
Amethyst is the birthstone for February. Citrine is a birthstone for November, along with Topaz.
