The deep violet of the two amethysts in these earrings turns almost dark purple when light catches them from the side. The cabochon cut smooths the surface of the stone and concentrates the colour into one dense pool, without the faceted flashes that would break up the gaze. The dangle form and loose, boho-vintage silhouette let the earrings sway with every turn of the head, brushing the neckline and drawing attention to bare skin around the ears. This is jewellery designed for the face - its weight and scale call for hair worn up or tucked behind the ear.

Two amethysts of similar, saturated colour and clear interior were chosen for setting - it was precisely this even depth of colour and absence of cloudiness that decided their selection. Silver rises in price year on year, and amethysts of this quality turn up ever more rarely, so the price of these earrings seems reasonable today. The rhodium layer protects the silver against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the metal's shine visible for a long time. The purity of the alloy is confirmed by the 925 fineness, attesting to refined silver of European quality free of nickel and other harmful additives, which rules out skin irritation. The earrings are stamped with the French maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered with the assay office, attesting to the metal's origin. In traditional jewellery craft, amethyst was associated with calm and clarity of mind, treated as a symbol of inner balance.

In spring, these earrings pair well with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf tied loosely at the neck, with a light-coloured handbag rounding off the airy feel of the whole look. The violet of the amethyst catches the eye against beige and ecru, and hair worn loose or gathered lightly lets the earrings move freely with every gesture. Their very big scale and weight of 10.0 g make them a striking choice for evenings where the gesture matters as much as the accessory itself.
