These fabulous vintage amethyst stud earrings combine timeless elegance with modernist flair. Each earring is tension set with a polished cabochon amethyst and a smaller square cut amethyst, exhibiting luxurious deep-purple hues that contrast beautifully against a curvaceous 18ct yellow gold frame, with a sleek hook embellishment at the end that curls under the earlobe when worn. The pair have developed a lovely smoothness and patina over time and are held by butterfly studs at the back.
Amethyst is the birthstone of February and is considered a stone of protection, clarity and tranquillity. Its deep purple/ violet colouring has been highly esteemed throughout history, adorning regal jewellery all around the world, from ancient Egypt to the British crown jewels.
Perfect for any occasion, from casual outings to elegant soirées, these vintage amethyst earrings are perfect for those who appreciate vintage charm and are the ideal accessory to express your unique style.
