Amethyst jewellery
Looking for amethyst jewellery with real character and careful craftsmanship? John & Dawn Field design and make distinctive amethyst pieces in their Yorkshire workshop, combining richly coloured cabochons and drilled beads with textured sterling silver, oxidised finishes and subtle gold details. Explore one-off and small-batch designs online, ask about custom stone choices, or get in touch to discuss a personal amethyst and silver necklace as a gift or for your own collection.
Handmade amethyst pieces with character
Amethyst sits at the heart of John & Dawn Field’s gemstone jewellery range. Each stone is chosen for depth of colour and clarity, then paired with contrasting silver and occasional brass or gold highlights so the purple really stands out.
Clients often choose amethyst for:
- February birthdays and milestone celebrations
- Relaxed but refined everyday wear
- Meaningful jewellery gifts and thank-you presents
- Statement accents against black, grey, cream or denim
Across the collections you will find:
- Simple cabochon pendant designs on quality sterling silver chains
- Amethyst bead necklaces with hand-carved hardwood accents
- Asymmetric earrings that pair amethyst with embossed silver motifs
- Co-ordinating bangles and brooches in selected ranges
To explore current designs, browse the online collections of handmade jewellery and gemstone pieces, or contact the workshop if you have a particular shade or style in mind.
Amethyst and silver necklace designs
Amethyst works beautifully in silver, and many clients are drawn to a refined amethyst and silver necklace as a versatile staple.
Typical design features include:
- Sterling silver centres and chains – usually around 43–45 cm, comfortable for most necklines.
- Cabochon gemstones – smooth, rounded stones that catch the light and give a soft sheen of colour.
- Textured silver surrounds – roller-printed or embossed silver that frames the stone with small abstract marks, lines or shapes.
- Optional oxidised finishes – darker silver to increase contrast and make the amethyst glow.
If you prefer a more minimal look, you might choose a single-stone silver pendant. For something bolder, look for multi-stone designs or wooden and mixed-material one-offs that combine amethyst beads with carved hardwoods.
What to expect when you order
Every piece of amethyst jewellery is handmade in small numbers in the Holmfirth workshop.
Design and making
- John and Dawn work with carefully sourced semi-precious cabochons and beads, selecting each amethyst for colour and suitability for the design.
- Traditional jewellery techniques such as soldering, stone setting, roller-printing and Keum Boo gold-on-silver are combined with occasional CAD/3D design for more sculptural forms.
- Silver components are shaped, textured and assembled by hand. Stones are then set securely, with particular attention to comfortable fittings and balanced weight.
Customisation and commissions
Many designs can be customised:
- Choose amethyst as the focal stone where a design offers gemstone options.
- Ask about pairing amethyst with complementary stones such as peridot or aqua chalcedony.
- Commission a one-off amethyst piece, or a matched set for a wedding party or special event.
For bespoke work, you can discuss:
- Stone size and shape
- Embossed marks, letters or numbers
- Co-ordinating bangles, earrings or brooches
Custom jewellery enquiries are handled personally by John or Dawn, who will guide you through stone choice, design sketches and timings.
Ordering, packaging and delivery
- Orders placed through the website are usually dispatched within 1–6 working days.
- UK orders are sent via Royal Mail Insured Delivery (tracked, signed for, next working day after dispatch in most cases).
- International orders use an International Tracked and Signed service; local taxes or duties are the responsibility of the recipient.
- Each piece arrives in John & Dawn Field branded packaging, with a gift box and postcards that tell more of the ranges, ready to give or send.
Caring for your amethyst jewellery
Amethyst is a durable semi-precious stone, and with simple care your jewellery will remain bright and wearable:
- Store sterling silver pieces dry and separate from other jewellery to minimise scratching.
- Clean silver with a soft polishing cloth. Avoid dipping solutions on pieces that combine stones, oxidised silver or mixed materials.
- Oxidised silver should be washed lightly with mild soap and water, then dried thoroughly. Do not use dips or abrasive cloths.
- Keum Boo gold-on-silver details should be treated like fine silver; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning.
If you ever need help, John & Dawn Field offer an aftercare service for their own jewellery, including cleaning, repairs, replacement earwires, stone identification and fabrication of matching replacements.
