The Timeless Appeal of Vintage Amethyst

Why choose a vintage amethyst necklace? Unlike modern mass-produced items, vintage-inspired pieces often feature hand-finished details, unique cuts of stone, and settings that you rarely see today. With interest in amethyst jewelry vintage styles rising (trending up 15-25% recently), wearing these designs is both a nod to history and a contemporary fashion statement.

Whether you are looking for Art Deco geometrics or the flowing lines of Art Nouveau, our collection captures that distinct old-world charm.

Antique Amethyst Necklace Styles

For those seeking something truly classic, an amethyst necklace antique design offers unparalleled character. "Antique" style generally refers to pieces that draw inspiration from jewelry over 100 years old.

Expect to see:

Deep Siberian colors: Imitations of the rich, reddish-purple hue prized in antique jewelry.
Ornate metalwork: Detailed engravings and milgrain edges that frame the amethyst.
Unique cuts: Cushion cuts and old European cuts that interact with light differently from modern stones.

Victorian Amethyst Jewelry: Regal & Romantic

The Victorian era (1837–1901) was a golden age for purple gemstones, as Queen Victoria was fond of amethysts. A Victorian amethyst necklace or an amethyst necklace Victorian style often features:

Bold Gold Settings: Heavy yellow gold frameworks.
Floral & Celestial Motifs: Flowers, hearts, and stars were common in Victorian amethyst jewelry.
Seed Pearl Accents: A classic Victorian pairing where small pearls halo the central amethyst.

Although genuine Victorian pieces are rare, our collection includes designs that faithfully pay homage to this grand era.

Vintage Amethyst Pendants

If a full collar necklace feels too bold, an amethyst pendantin a vintage style is the perfect alternative. These pendants often feature a large, singular amethyst in an intricate filigree setting.

A vintage pendant is incredibly versatile—it looks just as stunning worn over a high-neck sweater as it does against bare skin for an evening event.

0/0 Would not buy!

I ordered this ring and from the pictures on the website it looked like a beautiful ring. After waiting a month for it to get to me, I was SO disappointed when I opened it. It looks nothing like the picture! I knew it was gold plated, but I figured a 140 dollar ring would look like real gold. Nope! The “yellow gold” plating looks orange! So orange I just knew it was going to turn my finger green. The stones were okay but the whole thing overall is awful. I messaged the company asking for a refund but they said it was “personal preference” (more like false advertising!) and were going to take ten percent of my refund and then twenty percent for shipping charges. 0/0 would not recommend!!
