Wrapped by hand. No two alike.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pendant is not cast. It is not manufactured. It is hand wire-wrapped: multiple silver wire strands laid in parallel across the face of a large amethyst heart cabochon, gathering at the crown into a tightly wound coil that terminates in a flat spiral rosette, each turn of the wire placed deliberately by hand. The wrapping is clean and even, the parallel wires precisely spaced, the spiral terminus well-formed and symmetrical. Every wire-wrapped pendant is a unique object. This one cannot be reproduced identically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stone is a large puffy heart cabochon of natural amethyst, polished to a high dome, the surface showing the characteristic colour banding and zoning of genuine amethyst: deep violet-purple concentrations shifting into lighter lavender areas in a natural pattern within the stone. Natural colour zoning is the mark of real amethyst and this specimen shows it clearly and beautifully. At two inches long and one and a half inches wide, the heart has genuine presence and weight on the chest. This is not a small or delicate pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chain is a popcorn or caviar chain at 27 inches total length, the surface formed of tiny interlocked rounded bead units creating a textured granulated surface with a deep oxidised dark finish, the individual beads catching light across the full length. With a 13.5 inch drop from clasp to pendant base, the heart sits low at the sternum or centre of the chest, a long dramatic wear position that suits the scale of the stone. The oxidised tone of the chain is a perfect complement to the violet of the amethyst. The clasp barrel is stamped 925 in a cartouche.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Particulars:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Pendant necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: Natural amethyst, large heart cabochon, 2 inches long x 1.5 inches wide, violet-purple with natural colour banding and zoning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Hand wire-wrapped, multiple parallel silver wire strands, spiral rosette terminus at crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal: Sterling silver wire, stamped 925 on chain clasp cartouche\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain: Oxidised popcorn\/caviar bead chain, 27 inches total length, 13.5 inch drop, lobster clasp stamped 925\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Artisan handmade, unique, not cast production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wire holds the stone.
