Amethyst Teardrop Locket (Opens)

Amethyst Teardrop Locket (Opens)

Some jewellery reveals its story at a glance. Other pieces keep a little mystery tucked away. The Teardrop Locket (Opens) combines both: an opening white brass locket with a polished Amethyst teardrop cabochon at its centre, suspended from a long grey suede cord. Its cool silver-toned finish, soft grey cord and violet gemstone create a relaxed, slightly romantic look with a touch of old-world charm.

The smooth Amethyst cabochon measures approximately 1.5cm, while the locket is made from white brass — brass coated in silver. An approximately 80cm grey suede cord necklace completes the design, giving it a longer, easy-to-layer silhouette. Unlike an ordinary fixed pendant, the locket opens, adding an intriguing detail to a piece that is beautiful even when closed.

A Little Mystery, Framed in Amethyst

A cabochon is a gemstone polished to a smooth, rounded surface rather than cut into sparkling facets. That gentle finish suits Amethyst particularly well, allowing its purple tones and natural character to take centre stage. The teardrop shape adds a graceful, timeless outline without needing an elaborate setting to make an impression.

There is something lovely about a locket that can be opened: it invites curiosity, even before you know what lies inside. The opening feature is part of this necklace’s design; however, the interior size and suitability for photographs or keepsakes have not been confirmed.

Amethyst Meaning & Symbolism

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz traditionally associated with calm, clarity, intuition and spiritual awareness. Within crystal traditions, it is often chosen as a reminder to slow down, listen to your inner voice and approach life with a clearer perspective. Those meanings are personal and symbolic rather than scientifically established effects.

Amethyst is also the traditional February birthstone, making this necklace a thoughtful choice for a birthday gift or anyone who simply loves purple gemstones. Discover more pieces in our Amethyst collection.

Care & Wearing Tips

Keep the white brass coating, Amethyst and suede cord away from water, perfume, lotions and harsh cleaning products. Gently wipe the metal and gemstone with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid soaking the cord. Store the necklace separately to help prevent rubbing and scratches. Prolonged strong sunlight may affect the colour of some Amethyst, so a shaded storage spot is a good choice.
