Green Amethyst Teardrop Pendant Necklace | Sterling Silver

Green amethyst, known in the gem trade as prasiolite is a variety of quartz whose colour sits somewhere between pale sage and deep forest, depending on the stone and the light. It forms through the natural or heat-assisted transformation of amethyst or yellow quartz, the iron within the crystal shifting under temperature to produce its distinctive, cool green. Faceted, it reveals a different quality entirely: the cut surfaces draw light through the stone and return it with a clarity and depth that the raw form cannot achieve. The colour shifts as the stone moves, from pale and luminous in direct light to a richer, more saturated green in shadow.

Green amethyst occupies an interesting space in crystal lore, it carries the clarity and amplifying qualities of quartz alongside properties associated with the heart chakra. It is said to encourage emotional balance, compassion, and a grounded sense of abundance. Where purple amethyst calms the mind, green amethyst is thought to open the heart, supporting a quiet confidence and a connection to the natural world that feels steady rather than forced.

The teardrop is one of the most elegant forms in jewellery. Its elongated silhouette draws the eye downward, creating a sense of movement and grace, and the gentle taper of the form suits a faceted stone particularly well, the widest point at the base allowing the full breadth of the cut to catch the light as the pendant moves.

This pendant features a faceted green amethyst teardrop set in sterling silver, the setting chosen to complement the cool, clear tone of the stone without competing with it. It is suspended on an 18 inch sterling silver fine curb chain, a lightweight, refined length that sits at the collarbone and allows the pendant to move naturally with the wearer.

A piece with a quiet, considered elegance.

Arrives gift-ready.
