1980s Amethyst Quartz Necklace
This Amethyst and Clear Quartz Nugget Bead Necklace combines the serene beauty of two powerful gemstones with a rich history of mystical beliefs. Clear Quartz, known as "Rock Crystal," was once thought to be frozen ice by ancient civilizations, including the Japanese, who believed it formed from the breath of a white dragon. For centuries, this stunning stone was revered for its clarity and purity, and it continues to be admired for its luminous, versatile properties. The amethyst beads, faceted to showcase their natural brilliance, add a deep, calming touch to this vintage piece, creating a harmonious balance of light and color.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this necklace carries profound metaphysical properties. Amethyst is renowned as a natural tranquilizer, known to relieve stress, soothe irritability, and dispel negative emotions such as anger, fear, and anxiety. It is said to bring peace, alleviate grief, and promote emotional balance, making it a powerful stone for spiritual healing. Amethyst also activates spiritual awareness and enhances intuition, and it is often used as a sobriety stone. This authentic vintage necklace from the 1980s features 40 hand-knotted beads, measuring 33 inches in length. It is finished with a sterling silver lobster claw clasp, stamped 925, and weighs 180.2 grams, making it a substantial yet elegant accessory.
