Purple Amethyst Choker with Chain Drop
ONE-OF-A-KIND
This sculptural gemstone choker necklace blends tailored design with unexpected whimsy, signature touches of artist and jewelry designer Andrea Li.
Inspired by a strand of a rare, unrepeatable purple amethyst gemstone strand sourced from the Tucson gem show, this one-of-a-kind statement necklace evolved through experimentation. The original concept, resembling a jeweled vertebra, transformed into a precise, three-tiered formation, reminiscent of mosaic-stained glass. Each gemstone is hand-set within custom-fabricated 14k gold-filled frames, designed with articulated joints for improved wearability.
One-of-a-kind
Articulated joints
Handset Gems
A dramatic gold chevron chain drop cascades from the center, anchored by three companion stones to unify the entire silhouette. This choker necklace is a collectorβs piece, ideal for women seeking bold, expressive jewelry with a story.
Materials:
Natural amethyst gemstones
Chevron gold-filled chains
18k gold vermeil components
Recycled 14/20k gold-filled metal
Wear It With:
Style this architectural masterpiece with simple drop earrings to command attention at any gallery opening or special occasion

βSo thankful to have found the gifted hands of Andrea Li! I found Andreaβs website during a midnight google search, and once I laid eyes on Andreaβs pieces, I was hooked. Andrea took the time to learn about the event, my dress, and what I envisioned. It was pure magic and talent how she created my necklace and earrings. She elevated my look for my nieceβs big day with dazzling blues and greens, and waves of golden movement that mirrored the ocean tide. So very happy with the pieces Andrea created for me, and the kindness and spirit which she did it.β

Matches beautifully with:
This Purple Amethyst Cuff is handmade by Andrea Li as a companion piece to the amethyst choker that came before it: the same mosaic-like configuration of natural amethyst gemstones, the same Tucson strand, now tailored into a sculptural cuff bracelet.
The amethysts were sourced as a single strand at the Tucson gem show, and Andrea built both pieces from that one find, using every stone in it. That is not a coincidence or a marketing angle - it is how she works. She calls it using the entire strand: when a stone parcel or strand arrives in the studio, no portion is discarded. The material's full story gets told. This cuff carries all of that intention in its structure.
The stones are set in natural amethyst gemstones on a 14K gold-filled circle link extender chain, with 18K gold vermeil components and recycled 14/20K gold-filled metal throughout. The extender chain is a practical choice, not an afterthought: it allows the cuff to adjust across wrist sizes without sacrificing the weight or proportion of the piece.
One of a kind. The choker and this cuff were built as a set from a single Tucson find. When this piece sells, it is gone. Explore more in the Pastel Gemstone Jewelry collection.
