Being born in February, whenever I hear the word "amethyst" my ears perk up. That's why, when I saw amethyst pendant being sold at Kinokuniya, I badly wanted to buy it. But alas, it cost around Rp 90 thousand something which roughly cost around US $ 8 till US $ 10. I don't know whether that would be expensive or not for US range, but it sure is in Indonesia.
Fortunately for me, I somehow found this purple stone in my drawer in my room in Jakarta. It has a unique shape although it's rather chipped on the bottom. I guess it belonged to the previous owner (she moved to a room next to mine) or the previous owner's previous owner. Anyway, being petty as I am, I didn't tell my neighbour about the stone and decided to claim it as my own. Finders, keepers people! :p
As soon as I got back to Semarang, I turned it into a pendant. The wire cage is more or less like the one I used in my cage pendant and the string is made from suede cord. It's not as good as the ones found in Kinokuniya, but it sure looks ethnic enough for me.
It's cheap, it's pretty, it's limited = it makes me happy! :)
You can't really see the chipped part, can you?
Resting prettily on my neck.
