Sterling Silver Historic Originals Amethyst Pendant, Chain & Earring Set

Historic Originals Amethyst Pendant Set

A beautiful and highly collectable Historic Originals amethyst jewellery set in sterling silver, comprising an elegant amethyst pendant suspended from a classic 18″ Figaro chain, together with a matching pair of amethyst drop earrings. Hallmarked in Edinburgh, this coordinated three-piece set is a lovely example of Scottish-hallmarked silver jewellery.

The set showcases a refined combination of polished sterling silver and rich purple amethyst, creating an attractive and coordinated ensemble with timeless appeal. The deep colour of the amethyst provides a striking contrast against the silver, while the matching design gives the set a particularly cohesive and elegant appearance.

Condition

This Historic Originals amethyst set remains in good vintage condition, displaying only light signs of previous use consistent with careful wear. The stones and silverwork retain their attractive appearance, making this a versatile jewellery set suitable for both everyday wear and more formal occasions.

Hallmarks:

• Maker: HO – Historic Originals
• Fineness: 925 Sterling Silver
• Assay Office: Edinburgh

Measurements:

• Pendant: Approx. 3.6cm × 1cm
• Chain Length: 18″

Wearing the Set

The pendant sits neatly on the 18″ Figaro chain, a length that typically rests just below the collarbone and works well with open necklines, blouses and knitwear. The matching drop earrings frame the face with a flash of purple, so the set can be worn together for a polished, coordinated look, or the pendant and earrings can be worn separately to add a touch of colour to a simpler outfit. Buying a matching set like this also takes the guesswork out of pairing gemstones and metals.

About the Edinburgh Hallmark

Each piece carries the HO maker’s mark of Historic Originals alongside the 925 sterling silver standard mark and the castle mark of the Edinburgh Assay Office. A full UK hallmark is independent confirmation that the silver has been tested and meets the sterling standard of 92.5% pure silver, which gives buyers real confidence when purchasing pre-owned jewellery. Collectors of Scottish silver often look for the Edinburgh castle mark in particular.

Why Amethyst?

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz and has been prized in jewellery for centuries. It is the birthstone for February and a traditional gift for a sixth wedding anniversary, so this Historic Originals amethyst pendant and earring set makes a thoughtful present for a birthday, anniversary or Christmas. The rich purple tones pair beautifully with silver and suit both casual and evening outfits.

Caring for Your Silver and Amethyst Jewellery

• Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches and tangling of the chain.
• Polish the silver gently with a soft silver cloth to restore its shine.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, perfume and household cleaners, and remove the jewellery before swimming or bathing.
• Keep amethyst out of prolonged strong sunlight, which can fade the colour over time.
