Stud earrings with amethysts let a flash of violet play with every turn of the head, brushing against the neckline and hair. The two cabochon-cut amethysts have a smooth, rounded surface that gathers light into a single point and returns it with a deep, saturated glow. The minimalist form of the stud does not draw attention away from the stone - the whole piece stays simple and calm in line, sitting close to the ear and face. Amethyst violet has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, which suits such a restrained form well.

Each amethyst passes through the hands of a person who assesses the stone's colour and clarity before it is set - so at this price you get a stone of genuinely good quality, not a random specimen. Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, and finding an amethyst of such even colour is getting harder, so buying at this price makes sense today. The setting is made of refined 925 silver of European quality, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal that protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the earrings need cleaning less often. The alloy is pure, free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so they can be worn without worrying about irritation. The metal is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to its origin.

These earrings fit well into an office look - against a smooth white shirt and a fitted blazer in grey or navy, the amethyst's violet brings the muted outfit to life without overdoing it. Hair tied back or short haircuts further reveal the stone at the ear. At 1.5 g, they wear without any feeling of weight from morning to evening. A small but distinct detail in everyday dressing.
