18K Van Cleef & Arpel Amethyst Pendant

A study in geometry and color.

This elegant 1980s pendant by Van Cleef & Arpels distills the essence of modernist refinement. Two richly-hued cabochon amethysts—clean, glassy, and vibrant—are vertically aligned in a minimalist 18k yellow gold setting. Framed in softened square bezels, the stones float with gentle articulation, their geometry softened by light and movement. Suspended from its original matching chain, this pendant exemplifies the Maison’s late-century restraint—where precision meets poetry.
