Purple Amethyst Choker with Chain Drop
Purple Amethyst Choker with Chain Drop
Built like a mosaic window for the neck, this amethyst choker necklace sets faceted tubes of purple amethyst side by side in three tiers, each stone hand-set in its own 14k gold-filled frame. From the center, a gold-filled chevron chain falls toward the neckline and ends in three companion stones that tie the whole silhouette together.
If a structured gemstone choker sounds stiff, here is why this one moves with you. The frames are custom-fabricated and linked by articulated joints, so the collar follows the curve of your neck instead of sitting on it like a solid plate, and it goes on and comes off easily.
The amethysts came from one rare strand that cannot be repeated, and every stone in it went into two pieces: this choker and its companion, the Purple Amethyst Cuff. The frames combine 14k gold-filled with 18k gold vermeil components and recycled 14/20k gold-filled metal.
Wear it with small drop earrings and an open neckline, to a gallery opening or any evening that calls for one statement piece.
A collector's piece from the Pastel Gemstone Jewelry collection, made once by Andrea Li in her Denver studio and never repeated: for someone who wears jewelry as art, not as an accessory.

Matches beautifully with:
Is a gemstone choker comfortable?
Each purple amethyst is hand-set in its own custom-fabricated 14k gold-filled frame, and the frames meet at articulated joints. That lets the choker move with your neck rather than sitting stiff like a solid piece, and it makes it easy to put on and take off.
What metals is it made of?
The frames are 14k gold-filled, with 18k gold vermeil components and recycled 14/20k gold-filled metal, and the chevron drop chain is gold-filled. Gold-filled carries a bonded layer of real gold far thicker than plating, so it wears for years rather than months.
Is there a matching cuff?
Yes. Every stone in this amethyst strand went into two pieces: this choker and the Purple Amethyst Cuff, which carries the same mosaic of faceted amethyst on the wrist. Worn together, they read as one set from my Denver studio.
Every amethyst from one rare strand went into only two pieces, and this amethyst cuff bracelet is the second, made to match the Purple Amethyst Choker with Chain Drop. It carries the same mosaic of faceted purple amethyst, scaled down for the wrist.
If cuffs never seem to fit you, this one does not ask you to fit it. Instead of a fixed band, the natural amethyst gemstones are set along a 14k gold-filled circle link extender chain, so the cuff adjusts across wrist sizes without changing its proportions or the weight of the piece. 18k gold vermeil components and recycled 14/20k gold-filled metal complete it.
Wear it with the matching choker for a full set, or on its own with a rolled sleeve so the purple shows against bare skin.
When it sells, there is no strand left to make another. Part of the Pastel Gemstone Jewelry collection, handmade once by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: for the person who values rarity in what they wear.
