This enchanting vintage 9-carat yellow gold heart-cut Amethyst “Bow” pendant and chain is a piece that radiates timeless romance and feminine charm.

At its heart lies a striking carved Heart-cut  3.7-carat Amethyst,  held securely in a multi-claw setting with a beautifully scrolled, ornate gallery. 
The gemstone glows with a deep, regal purple hue—its facets crisp and luminous, presenting with absolutely no signs of facet wear. It’s a pristine example of vintage craftsmanship, with the Amethyst appearing almost untouched by time.

Suspending the gemstone is a graceful gold bow motif, a classic emblem of love and affection. The bow cleverly conceals a hidden bail on the reverse, through which runs the accompanying 9-carat gold cable link chain, fastening with a traditional bolt ring clasp. 

The pendant bears full UK hallmarks for London, 9 carat gold, and the date letter for 1960, while the chain—possibly a slightly later addition—complements it perfectly with its warm tone and fine finish.

Measuring 41 cm in length, the chain sits elegantly at the collarbones. Together, they create a piece that feels both romantic and refined—a perfect gift of love or a cherished addition to any vintage jewellery collection.

Delicate, radiant, and full of character, this 1960s 9ct gold bow and 3.7ct Amethyst pendant captures the essence of vintage elegance—a timeless symbol of affection, beautifully preserved in gold and violet light.
