8.15 CT Octagon Amethyst & Diamond Pendant Necklace, 14K Gold

Quitting time in Midland, the sky does something no camera gets right, purple bleeding up out of the orange like a bruise spreading wide. You've pulled the truck onto the shoulder to watch it more than once this year.

You never go for one flat color anyway, not in a sky and not on your hand. This amethyst is cut octagon, straight-edged and stepped, so the purple breaks into planes instead of one wash: grape in one facet, smoke in the next, near black at the corners. Thirty-eight round diamonds ring it, small and steady, holding the light while the stone keeps doing whatever it wants.

This pendant necklace is crafted in 14-karat gold and set with one octagon-cut amethyst, approximately 8.15 carats. Thirty-eight round diamonds surround it, adding 0.28 carats total weight, G-H color, SI1 clarity.

That sky changes on its own schedule, whenever it wants. This one changes when you move your hand.
