Amethyst Pendant Prices
Being a robust gemstone (Moh’s hardness - 7) and abundantly available in nature, amethyst is used in jewellery on a commercial scale. Its prices are influenced more by the colour and less by other factors. Yet origin, cut and clarity carry some degree of influence on its prices. On an average amethyst stone price in India usually starts from INR 380 and can go up to INR 186,500.
Customised Emerald Pendant
A customised emerald pendant lets you create a unique piece that reflects personal style. Emeralds have a vibrant green colour symbolising love and renewal. By customising, you choose the design, setting, and gemstone quality, making it a special women’s emerald jewellery that's truly one-of-a-kind and meaningful.
Origin
Brazilian amethyst pendant prices range between INR 300 to INR 400 per carat, and are usually higher than other origins because of superior colour quality. On account of better clarity, African amethyst can also command decent money though that may differ from one stone to another.
Colour
Cost of amethyst is decided almost entirely by its colour. Deep purple amethyst with slight red and blue hues, draws higher pricing than too dark or too light gemstones. Colour zoning or inconsistent colour distribution can marginally reduce amethyst cost on a per carat basis.
Clarity
Amethyst is largely free of visible inclusions. Although when present, they may appear like reddish brown needles or L-shaped bands and can reduce the overall worth of amethyst.
Cut & Shape
A finely cut gemstone not only illuminates colour and light better but can cleverly conceal the inclusions. Faceted gemstones are more expensive than cabochons because of the stone wastage incurred in the process. On similar grounds, if overall quality remains same, round and oval shapes are cheaper than square or other customised shapes.
Carat weight
Unlike other precious gemstones, amethyst is abundantly available in nature. For this reason, one may not find exponential increase in the price of amethyst vis a vis the carat weight.
Treatment
Due to sufficient availability, amethyst is not that vulnerable to profiteering practices like synthetic processing or treatments. However, it may still be subjected to fracture-filling or colour enhancement measures. Usually, natural amethyst is more valuable and astrologically compatible than synthetic or treated ones. To ensure value for money, we advise our customers to buy original, certified amethyst online or from reputed dealers.
Note: Gemstone prices in India are calculated both in Carats as well as Ratti. Amethyst price per carat always amounts equal to Amethyst price per ratti. (1 Ratti = 0.9 Carat)
