Large Victorian Amethyst Cluster Brooch

A stunning large antique gilt brooch set with 10 oval faceted amethysts and nine tiny gleaming seed pearls. The amethysts are beautiful; if you hold them up to the light you can see each one has its own slightly different natural colour variant.

Amethyst is the birthstone for February and the gemstone used to commemorate the 6th wedding anniversary. The name comes from the ancient Greek words a- [“not”] and méthystos [“intoxicated”] as it was believed to protect from the effects of drinking too much wine!
