Overview
A delightful 5-piece collection of gemstone pendants centered by a bold, Bali-inspired sterling silver and vermeil enhancer pendant housing a large emerald-cut amethyst. The ensemble also includes three classic solitaire gemstone drops (featuring oval garnet, marquise amethyst, and oval amethyst) alongside a stylized sterling silver heart frame holding a floating gemstone charm.
Story
Centuries ago, purple amethyst was so rare that only royalty and high bishops could wear it. Today, this suite pairs that imperial color with traditional Indonesian metal granulations and everyday wearable elegance.
Maker / Origin
The centerpiece enhancer strongly reflects the style popularized by designers like Samuel B., Carolyn Pollack, and Bali silversmithing cooperatives, who brought centuries-old Javanese granulation and filigree traditions to the broader fine jewelry market via television retail and boutique jewelers.
Condition & Value
All pendants appear to be in very good, wearable condition with clean facet junctions, secure prong settings, and intact bails. Minor surface patina on the silver, which enhances the textured granulation. Very good condition maintains standard secondary market appeal.
