Fantasy Cut
Amethyst Pin By Keith Farley

14 karat gold pin with
fantasy cut amethyst and pearls

As
is often the case with unusual gems, I purchased this
amethyst
to think about how best to place it in a wearable piece of
jewelry. Nearly too large for a ring (although I've
occasionally used larger gems than this in rings) I chose to
make a simple and understated pin with it as the
centerpiece. The body of the pin is made of 14 karat gold
and picks up on the forms contained within the amethyst. The
left and right ends rest against the body while both the top
and bottom projections are elevated to allow for some
additional light source. As a means of stabilizing the pin,
a pearl has been located under the top and bottom
projections. I selected pearls that have a very rosy
appearance because it works very nicely with the red-purples
of the amethyst.
