27 CT Pear Amethyst Necklace in 18kt White Gold

David Stern Jewelers presents a breathtaking 27 CT Pear Faceted Amethyst Couture Necklace set in luxurious 18kt white gold, an extraordinary piece that showcases one of gemology’s most regal and historically significant colored gemstones in dramatic, museum-quality proportions. This magnificent creation features a commanding pear-shaped faceted amethyst displaying a rich purple color, the signature hue that has captivated royalty, religious leaders, and collectors throughout human history. According to the Gemological Institute of America, amethyst is a variety of quartz colored by trace amounts of iron and natural irradiation, ranking 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it durable enough for jewelry designed to be worn regularly while requiring reasonable care to preserve its beauty.

The spectacular 27 carat pear-shaped amethyst represents a truly exceptional find, as amethysts of this substantial size with excellent clarity and rich color saturation are increasingly rare in today’s market. The pear shape, also known as the teardrop cut, is one of the most elegant and romantic silhouettes in gemstone cutting, combining the rounded brilliance of an oval with the distinctive point of a marquise. The International Gem Society explains that pear-shaped gemstones create graceful, elongating proportions that flatter the neckline while maximizing color saturation and visual impact. The faceted cut enhances the amethyst’s natural brilliance, creating flashes of light that bring the purple gemstone to life with every movement.

Amethysts of this caliber—27 carats with excellent clarity and deep color—are far scarcer than many collectors realize. While amethyst was once found only in royal collections before large Brazilian deposits were discovered in the 19th century, truly fine amethysts with the deep “Siberian” purple color and substantial size remain rare and valuable. The combination of impressive carat weight with excellent transparency creates a gemstone that rivals precious stones in visual impact while offering exceptional value.

This exceptional amethyst is dramatically enhanced by 2.00 carats of round brilliant cut diamonds exhibiting G color and VS-1 clarity, representing premium diamond quality that elevates this necklace to true luxury status. The G color grade falls within the “near colorless” range on the GIA diamond color grading scale and is considered an optimal balance point—high enough to appear colorless to the naked eye when set, yet priced more accessibly than D-F colorless grades. These diamonds will face up beautifully white against the white gold setting, creating maximum contrast with the purple amethyst.

The VS-1 clarity grade indicates very slight inclusions that are difficult even for trained graders to see under 10x magnification, making these diamonds eye-clean with exceptional transparency. This premium clarity grade, combined with the G color, places these diamonds in the upper echelon of quality, demonstrating the level of investment and craftsmanship that defines this couture jewelry piece. The 2 carats of diamonds create a spectacular frame or halo that amplifies the amethyst’s presence while adding substantial sparkle and value.

This Necklace has a Total Carat Weight of 29 ct tw with Purple color and Excellent clarity. The exceptional 29 total carat weight creates commanding presence and undeniable luxury. The “Excellent” clarity designation indicates the amethyst displays outstanding transparency and crystal structure, with minimal inclusions that allow light to penetrate deeply into the gemstone. This level of clarity is particularly impressive in an amethyst of 27 carats, as most large amethysts contain visible inclusions or color zoning. The rich purple color represents the most desirable hue in amethyst, historically known as “Deep Siberian” when it reaches this level of saturation.

This Necklace has a gold weight of approximately 18.9 grams, entirely crafted in premium 18kt white gold for both the setting and chain. According to the World Gold Council, 18kt gold contains 75% pure gold, offering substantially higher precious metal content than 14kt gold. The substantial 18.9 gram weight indicates investment-grade construction with proper reinforcement necessary to securely support nearly 30 carats of precious gemstones. This construction ensures the necklace will maintain its structural integrity and beauty through decades of wear while contributing significant intrinsic value to the piece.

The choice of 18kt white gold is particularly sophisticated for this amethyst necklace, as the cool white metal tone creates maximum contrast with the amethyst’s warm purple color, making the gemstone appear even more vivid and saturated. White gold is rhodium-plated to achieve its brilliant white finish, creating a contemporary aesthetic that allows the dramatic amethyst to command full attention.

This Necklace comes with an 18 inch chain with a lobster claw clasp in 18kt white gold, a versatile and universally flattering length that allows the substantial pear-shaped amethyst pendant to rest gracefully just below the collarbone. The 18-inch length provides ideal positioning for showcasing a statement gemstone of this size, ensuring maximum visibility and impact while maintaining comfortable wearability. The secure lobster claw clasp ensures safe wear for this valuable piece while maintaining the seamless aesthetic of luxury jewelry design.

What distinguishes this amethyst necklace is the extraordinary combination of substantial size, premium diamond quality, and the historical significance of amethyst itself. The American Gem Society documents that amethyst has been treasured since ancient times, with the name deriving from the Greek “amethystos” meaning “not intoxicated”—ancient Greeks believed amethyst could prevent drunkenness. Throughout history, amethyst adorned the regalia of royalty and church leaders, with fine specimens reserved for crown jewels and ecclesiastical rings. Catherine the Great of Russia and ancient Egyptian royalty particularly prized deep purple amethysts.

Amethyst serves as the birthstone for February and the gemstone for 6th wedding anniversaries, making this necklace particularly meaningful for these celebrations. However, the museum-quality size and exceptional clarity of this piece transcend occasional wear—this is jewelry designed to be a signature piece and treasured heirloom. Large amethysts require no special treatment beyond avoiding prolonged exposure to intense heat or sunlight, which can cause fading. With normal care, amethyst jewelry retains its beauty indefinitely.

This piece of Fine Custom Jewelry also includes a full complementary Jewelry Appraisal written by David Stern, G.I.A Gemologist. This professional appraisal provides detailed documentation of specifications, gemstone characteristics, and replacement value for insurance purposes—particularly important for a piece combining a 27 carat amethyst with 2 carats of premium diamonds. The GIA Graduate Gemologist credential represents the jewelry industry’s most respected gemological qualification, ensuring you receive authoritative expertise regarding this exceptional acquisition.

This extraordinary amethyst and diamond necklace embodies regal elegance with contemporary sophistication. The substantial 27 carat amethyst creates dramatic visual impact that rivals precious gemstones, while the premium G/VS-1 diamonds demonstrate the level of quality investment typically reserved for the finest jewelry. Whether you’re seeking a statement piece that celebrates February birthdays or 6th anniversaries, a distinctive addition to your jewelry collection that combines historical significance with modern luxury, or a meaningful gift that expresses admiration and appreciation, this couture creation offers the beauty, quality, and presence that discerning collectors demand.

The rich purple color creates a sophisticated alternative to more common gemstone colors, offering distinctiveness and personality while maintaining the elegance appropriate for the most prestigious occasions. This is jewelry for those who appreciate pieces with substance and story, who understand that true luxury encompasses not just material value but also historical resonance and artistic merit.
