Ametrine is not a dyed stone and it is not a blend assembled at the bench. It is a natural stone, a single crystal in which purple amethyst and golden citrine grew together as one body of quartz. Cut across the boundary between the two zones, the crystal shows both at once — and that is the effect we are buying when we call this piece a half-pot bracelet.
Cut into a cube, that boundary becomes a soft gradient inside every single bead: smoky violet through the top half, warm tea-gold through the bottom. The colour runs along the bead rather than sitting on it, so the bracelet reads differently depending on whether you hold your wrist up to a window or lay it flat under a desk lamp.
The square profile is the second decision. Chinese lapidary trade has long cut amethyst into the small faceted cube nicknamed fang tang — sugar cube — and the flat faces are what let the light travel straight through a bead instead of scattering off a rounded one. On an ametrine bracelet that flat cut is what makes the two-tone legible at a glance.
