85ct Ametrine & Citrine Necklace with 1970s Antique Cloisonné Butterfly Pendant
This radiant necklace showcases the brilliance of natural gemstones paired with the artistry of antique cloisonné.
At the center is a large 1970s cloisonné butterfly pendant, hand-painted in vibrant enamels with a butterfly and floral motif on a deep navy ground. Symbolizing transformation and renewal, the pendant is a wearable work of art from the golden age of cloisonné.
The strand is strung with a luminous combination of:
- 85 carats of natural antique facet cut Ametrine — a rare union of amethyst and citrine in a single gemstone, glowing with both purple and golden hues. Prized for its scarcity and beauty, Ametrine is also associated with balance, clarity, and harmony.
*According to legend, ametrine was first brought to Europe in the 1600s by a Spanish conquistador as part of a Bolivian princess’s dowry. Centuries later, in the 1960s, the deposit was rediscovered at the Anahí Mine in Bolivia—still the world’s only known commercial source for natural ametrine.
- Golden citrine gemstones — warm and radiant, enhancing the necklace with light, abundance, and joyful energy.
The whimsical mix of purple and gold tones perfectly complements the enamel artistry of the pendant. Measuring approximately 18 inches, it is finished with a secure gold vermeil over sterling clasp.
