Antique Chinese Carved Amethyst Peach Pendant 14K Gold Natural Pearl Necklace

About the Item

Exquisitely carved antique Chinese amethyst peach amulet pendant on 14K yellow gold, natural pearl and faceted amethyst long chain necklace 19th Century Qing Dynasty This beautiful antique Chinese amethyst carving is skillfully rendered to bring out the finest qualities of the stone- the peach has the strong purple hue while the stems, in contrast, are a pale lavender. The skillful reticulation along the stems towards the top adds a layer of complexity. The attractive 14K yellow gold chain with natural pearls and hand faceted amethysts complements the fine pendant to perfection. Length of chain: 27 inches Pendant: 1.82 inches by 1.19 inches by .57 inches Tested for 14K gold Condition: Very Good The lore of amethyst has captivated us for centuries. In some cultures, amethyst is called the "stone of kings" for its link to royalty. Ancient Greeks believed it had the power of clarity, the Ancient Egyptians thought the gem posessed magical properties and used it in jewelry for royalty and other prominent figures. The early Christians associated amethysts with spirituality and fashioned rosaries from the gemstone which were believed to bring one closer to God. Amethyst amulets are linked with love, romance and attracting positive energies into relationships. In Chinese culture, the peach is a powerful symbol of longevity, beauty and love. The phrase Shou Tao, peach of longevity, is commonly used in greetings and well wishes for good fortune. Traditional Chinese art often explores themes of prosperity and happiness through peach imagery.
