Amethyst brooch 14k yellow gold - USA 1960s

Gorgeous brooch‑pendant in 14‑karat yellow gold, crafted in the United States in the Sixties. At the centre of the composition stands a splendid round faceted amethyst, of deep and intense violet colour, framed by a border of natural seed pearls that adds brilliance and a touch of classical elegance. The outer setting, entirely in yellow gold, features an elaborate openwork and chased design, with flowing, rhythmic motifs that create an elegant, slightly baroque decorative frame. Designed to be worn both as a brooch and as a pendant thanks to a concealed loop at the top of the setting, a typical feature of accessories from the period. The condition is excellent.
