Description
Smooth, rounded cabochons of purple amethyst bring a soft luster to these sterling silver drop earrings. Suspended from fishhook ear wires with a polished hinge detail, these earrings offer gentle movement and a quieter take on February's birthstone than their sparkling faceted counterparts. Amethyst has long been associated with clarity and peace of mind—qualities prized by ancient Egyptians, early Christian mystics, and modern wearers alike. These earrings echo the organic shape of our amethyst nugget necklace, making a refined pair for anyone who loves understated gem lore.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
