18k Yellow Gold Bezel Set Amethyst Pendant
Item #102651Pendant Description
Amethyst Center
At the heart of this design is a 0.88 carat cushion shaped amethyst that’s bezel set. It’s oriented to hang with its rounded corners at the compass positions, and this adds a dynamic quality to the design. The arrangement of facets across the top of the stone is what qualifies it as a checkerboard cut because of the way they reflect light in an alternating pattern of dark and light.
Milgrain and Filigree
A double row of milgrain beading runs around the margin of the bezel setting, framing the amethyst nicely and tying in with the same detail on the filigree basket behind the stone. The filigree integrates triangles in a geometric pattern that also leaves plenty of space for light to reach the stone from behind.
In addition to the milgrain that outlines its general contours, the filigree is also embellished through the use of larger decorative beads on the open surfaces of the triangles and in a row running around the top of the basket. This type of beading is used on the front of the tapered bale that connects to the basket behind the top corner of the amethyst, and the bale is lined with milgrain also. Pendants
Matching Custom Sets
While any gift of fine custom jewelry is special, making it part of a set that includes matching earrings, a bracelet, or a ring can make it even more significant. To that end, you can customize this pendant along with another custom piece, or we can work with you to match the new pendant design to an existing piece. This may involve using a different type of metal, different kind of stone, or another shape of amethyst.
Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
