Amethyst Pendant
The centerpiece of this design is a 1.58 carat round checkerboard cut amethyst, and it’s displayed beautifully in a martini prong setting. Behind the stone, a basic basket provides protection and an attachment place for the bale. The bale attaches directly behind the top prong, while the other two prongs are evenly spaced on either side of the lower portion of the stone, bringing a nice balance to the piece overall. Pendants
Stone and Metal Options
If you’re thinking of customizing a design like this, you may want to begin by choosing a gemstone with special significance for you to replace the amethyst. That allows you to imbue the piece with greater personal meaning while still maintaining the overall framework of the design.
Sapphires are a particularly popular choice for this type of piece because they come in a wide range of colors and they are extremely hard, giving them a resilience that allows them to hold up well to everyday wear. Depending on the stone you choose, you may also want to select a different type of metal, or you can switch to a different shape of stone such as an oval or pear.
