Handmade Amethyst Drop Earrings in a Cut Out Mirrored Silver Frame
Purple is the colour of stillness and depth — the last light of an evening sky, the shade at the heart of a lavender field just before dusk. These amethyst drop earrings hold that colour in a single marquise stone, framed by a cut out of mirrored sterling silver that lets light pass around the gem as well as through it. Contemporary in form, calm in colour, and finished to a standard that makes them a pleasure to wear every day.
By the same designer behind our amethyst pendant necklace and the wider amethyst collection, this pair brings the stone to the ear in a new and more architectural setting.
The Stone: Marquise Amethyst
Amethyst is the violet variety of quartz, its colour created by trace iron and natural radiation within the crystal over a very long time. Prized since antiquity, it was once ranked alongside the most precious of gems, and it has long been associated with calm, clarity and a clear head. It is also the birthstone for February, which makes these earrings a thoughtful gift for anyone born that month.
The marquise cut suits amethyst beautifully. Its elongated, pointed shape draws the eye downward and lengthens the line of the neck and jaw, while the depth of colour within the stone shifts from soft lilac to rich violet as the light moves across it.
The Setting: Cut Out Frame, Mirrored Silver
The frame is the contemporary heart of this design. Rather than closing around the stone, the mirrored sterling silver 925 is cut away to create open space, so the amethyst appears to float within a clean silver outline. The high mirror polish reflects the violet back and forth between metal and stone, deepening the colour and adding a bright, luminous edge to every movement.
Hanging from a hook at 38 mm in total length, these amethyst drop earrings have a graceful presence that sits comfortably between delicate and statement. They are light enough for all day wear and hypoallergenic throughout.
A Gift for February and Beyond
Whether chosen for a February birthday, a milestone or simply because the colour is loved, they are a gift that feels personal and considered. Pairs beautifully with the amethyst pendant necklace from the same designer, and with the other pieces in our amethyst collection.
