When the Greek god Bacchus, accidentally caused the maiden, Amethyst, to be turned to stone, he poured wine over her in remorse, creating the purple gem we call Amethyst. This “Rose de France” colour Amethyst was a favorite in Victorian jewelry.

While the juxtaposition of the sparkling reflection and the soft glow of these beautiful stones is the focal point of this stunner necklace, the most unusual parts are the Cuneiform inscribed Silver beads I found in the market in Aleppo, Syria.

The beautiful, light refracting Amethyst is combined in this fantastic necklace with mysterious, glowing Rainbow Opals, Thai Hill-Tribe Silver and Cuneiform inscribed Silver beads. Cuneiform is the earliest known writing in the world, dating from around the 34th century BC.

This is a powerful and intriguing necklace that will garner comments and compliments whenever you wear it.

You are about to acquire a unique piece of art. The stones were mined by hand and shaped individually by skilled artisans. Every stone is different. The color and texture will vary from stone to stone depending on which mine or source they were derived from. Being one-of-a-kind pieces they will not exactly match each other or the pictures on the site. I try to balance stones as much as possible sorted by color and size. I hope that you will enjoy their individuality and their handcrafted qualities.
