Customise this pieceReference SI-057 is a drop earring, made in 18K Yellow Gold, set with 4 stones and built around movement, and a swing that catches light at the jaw. It measures 42.0 × 9.0 mm, and weighs 4.6 g gross. It sits in the everyday fine part of the book, and is made to your specification — price and booking on request, once we understand what you want changed.
It came out of a request we could not fill from the book. Amethyst sets the temperature of the piece and yellow gold follows it — iron and natural irradiation; heat turns it to citrine. In this form, drops are balanced so they hang plumb rather than forward. A turquoise bezel at the lobe, then two inches of fine gold chain, then an amethyst briolette. Almost nothing in between.

Cast in 18K Yellow Gold by lost wax, then filed and pre-polished before a stone goes near it. The setting on SI-057 is rub-over bezel at 42.0 × 9.0 mm. All 4 stones are seated individually against the reference tray rather than to a jig. Final polish runs on a bristle wheel at low speed to keep the edges crisp. It passes six inspection gates between wax and pouch.
Amethyst Chain Drops is shown in 18K Yellow Gold — 18K, 75% fine gold, warm, and the traditional choice for yellow and green stones. The same mount can be made in white gold, rose gold, platinum or 950 palladium, quoted on the metal weight of 4.6 g rather than a flat uplift. Platinum runs roughly a third above 18K on this design because it is denser and slower to work. All gold and platinum is BIS hallmarked with the ANAGARI maker's mark.
18K Yellow Gold — 75% fine gold alloyed with silver and copper for a warm, slightly deep yellow. Struck with the BIS hallmark and the house mark.
Total carat weight is 8.40 ct, made up of amethyst and turquoise. Amethyst is Mohs 7 and untreated — iron and natural irradiation; heat turns it to citrine. Colour is matched across the run under standard light, and any stone over 0.30 ct in a diamond piece ships with an independent certificate. Colour stones carry an ANAGARI identification report; IGI or GIA certification is available at cost.
Amethyst — A amethyst selected in-house for saturation and clarity, matched by eye to the metal it sits in.
Turquoise — A turquoise selected in-house for saturation and clarity, matched by eye to the metal it sits in.
Weight, dimension and stone count are checked against the signed first article — 4.6 g on SI-057. Six inspection gates sit between wax and packing: wax, casting, pre-polish, setting, finish and final. Setting is checked at ten-power on all 4 stones, and nothing advances on a supervisor's word alone. Made in Jaipur under one roof, which is why a query is answered the same afternoon rather than the next month.
Amethyst Chain Drops was made with birthdays, birthstones and the pleasure of colour, openings, dinners and any room you intend to be remembered in and a wardrobe rather than an occasion in mind. It photographs well, but it was built to be looked at from a foot away. Posts are 18K with butterfly backs as standard; screw backs and clip fittings are available at no extra cost.
Amethyst Chain Drops is one of the references we will rebuild to order. Straightforward changes — a different centre stone, a change of metal to white gold, carat weight up or down and a matte, satin or hammered finish in place of the polish — are specified in the customisation studio and add nothing to the lead time; booking and pricing follow once the specification is settled. Structural changes, such as taking this drop to a different architecture entirely, need a conversation and a new CAD; that runs six to eight weeks from approval. Private-label and OEM versions of this mount are quoted from one piece upward.
Amethyst Chain Drops sets amethyst and turquoise together, so: do not put this piece in an ultrasonic cleaner — Amethyst will not survive it. Warm water, a drop of pH-neutral soap and a soft brush is the correct method. Work from underneath; the film that kills brilliance collects behind the stone, not on it. Store separately and flat — a shared pouch is a slow-motion accident. Remove before contact sport, gardening, and whenever you apply fragrance, sunscreen or hand cream.
