Gold Long Green Gemstone Y Drop Necklace

$780.00

Three chains that hang as one, without a twist, are the whole trick of this green amethyst Y-drop necklace. Framed green amethyst, also called prasiolite, falls in a single line down the center of the chest, and above it three 14k gold-filled sequin chains rise toward the neck, splitting as they climb while still reading as one strand.

If you have worn a multi-chain necklace that tangled or sagged out of line by lunch, here is what keeps this one together. On each side, all three chains are anchored to a small concealed metal bar, curved to follow the contour of the neck, so no chain droops lower than the others. Each stone sits in its own custom gold-filled frame, precision-drilled and joined to the next with soldered jump rings, so the cascade hangs straight and moves as one piece.

The chains and components are recycled 14/20k gold-filled, a bonded layer of real gold far thicker than plating. The drop starts below the collarbone, made for a V-neck, an open collar or a plain black top, and the Green Long Square Gemstone Drop Earrings echo it with the same square-cut green amethyst in gold-filled frames.

It belongs to Andrea Li's pastel gemstone jewelry, and like every piece there it is built once and never repeated.

Engineered by hand in Andrea Li's Denver studio and made only this once: for someone who wears jewelry as art, not as an accessory.

Will the three chains tangle?

They are built not to. On each side, all three 14k gold-filled sequin chains are anchored to a small concealed metal bar curved to follow the neck, so they move as one strand instead of drifting apart. Between wears, store the necklace laid flat in an airtight bag with anti-tarnish strips, which keeps the three chains from tangling.

How long is this necklace?

It is a long Y-drop: the green amethyst cascade starts below the collarbone and runs down the center of the chest. The exact length was set during fabrication to balance the three-chain alignment, so ask Andrea Li for precise measurements before you buy.

Is green amethyst durable?

Yes. Green amethyst, also called prasiolite, is a green variety of quartz and rates 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, durable enough for everyday wear. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and clean it gently with a degreasing dish soap and a soft toothbrush.

Are there matching earrings?

Yes. The Green Long Square Gemstone Drop Earrings carry the same square-cut green amethyst in custom gold-filled frames, one vertical line on each side of the face to echo the necklace's center drop.
