While an amethyst is a semi-precious stone...the amethyst in your enhancer appears to be an African amethyst. Deep purple with a red flash. A wonderful amethyst of higher quality to own! Amethyst is a stone that brings good health/protection and we could all use that. I think it looks great with your heavy Gucci chain...go for it! :heart:
makes me want to go get one

I love the Gucci chain and I love bold looks. The enhancer look is nice.

But... I don’t like the amethyst. Everyone knows an amethyst is a cheap stone, and I think it cheapens the look of your chain. No one uses amethyst in nice jewelry. It’s a mall jewelry stone.

The chain by itself is iconic Gucci. Adding the “amethyst” in my opinion ruins it. If it were a sapphire or emerald, that would rock!

Just my two cents.
I hope that was helpful.
Actually, Siberian Amethyst is quite expensive. Also, Amethyst parures, including tiaras, are in a few of the Royal Jewels collections of European Royalty including the BRF.

I like it with the heavy Gucci chain. It's a large pendant & wouldn't look right on a thinner, more delicate chain. It would look awesome on a large gold Omega.....in keeping with the 80's look. A lot of the 80's looks are coming back in style.
