Amethyst Earrings | Aquarius Gift | Faceted 15mm Teardrop | Sterling Silver

These 15mm x 10mm sparkling faceted amethyst drop earrings feature a minimalist sterling silver setting. The facets enable the stone to catch noticeably more light when it moves. 

Why we love Amethyst

Amethyst is quartz, chemically identical to clear rock crystal or smoky quartz, with its violet colour coming entirely from trace iron impurities altered by natural irradiation during formation deep underground.

It's the birthstone for February, the zodiac stone for Aquarius, and also the traditional gemstone for a 6th (traditional) and 33rd (contemporary) wedding anniversary, which makes these a considered choice beyond a straightforward birthday gift.

The faceted cut on these particular earrings is worth noting if you're comparing them to the smoother, cabochon-style amethyst pieces elsewhere in the range: facets are cut deliberately to maximise how the stone catches and reflects light, rather than left as a rounded dome.
