Scottish Amethyst Pendant

Scottish Amethyst Pendant

Natural Scottish Amethyst natural polished nugget shape with interesting banding and subtle natural inclusions. Beautifully polished, then fixed with an 18" 925 sterling silver link chain.

Nugget measures roughly 24x17x16mm and will arrive in a Two Skies tartan gift pouch with 'Scottish Gems' story card.

Although more subtly shaded (and much less common!) than its Brazilian counterpart, our home sourced Scottish Amethyst is no less beautiful. From localities such as Dundee, Fife and Dumfries & Galloway. Amethyst is also February's birthstone.
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
