Is the amethyst natural?

Yes. The pear-cut amethysts are natural mined stones, not synthetic or lab-created. The natural origin is part of the value of the piece.

Why a crescent moon shape?

The crescent design gives the pendant a recognisable silhouette distinct from typical pendant forms (halo, flower, drop), and the moon symbolism reads personal and meaningful for many buyers. It also lets the pear-cut stones graduate naturally along the curve, the pear shape is well-suited to following a curved silhouette.

Is amethyst durable for daily wear?

Amethyst registers 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, durable enough for daily pendant wear. Avoid hard impact and ultrasonic cleaning. Direct sunlight exposure over many years can slowly fade amethyst colour, storing the pendant out of strong sunlight when not worn helps preserve the saturation.

Is the metal real 14kt gold?

Yes. The setting is real 14kt yellow gold (purity 585), not gold-plated or gold-filled metal. At 4.45g of total weight, this is a substantial 14kt yellow gold piece.
