I have become a collector since Victoria has offered silver and genuine gemstones! I love gold, also, but the silver fits my budget much better! This pendant is one of my favorites,and people think it is white gold/gold.....The intensity of color in all Victoria's gemstones is beautiful, esp. this amethyst.....It looks as if it should cost hundreds! I feel so special when I choose to wear her things. Keep up the great work, Victoria and HSN
