Two faceted amethysts catch the light with every turn of the head, shifting from deep plum violet to a lighter, clear amethyst hue. The dangle shape of these boho-inspired earrings sways gently along the neckline, and the facets along the stone's edges break the light into fine glints. A delicate weight of 1.9 g means the earrings wear easily, without pulling on the ear even after a full day.

For this piece we chose amethysts with a clear, saturated colour free of cloudiness, since it's precisely the clarity and depth of colour that determine a stone's class. Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, so earrings of this quality at this price are a sensible choice today. The core is refined sterling silver 925 of European quality, coated with a thick layer of 18-carat gold to vermeil standard - it's gold, not silver, that touches the skin, and its purity, free of harmful metal additives, means the earrings won't irritate even sensitive skin. Compliance with the vermeil standard is confirmed by the stamped V mark, and the metal also bears a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, attesting to its origin.

In the city, these earrings pair well with a simple white shirt and a leather jacket thrown over jeans - the violet of the amethyst then lifts a muted outfit palette and draws the eye to the face. Loose, slightly wavy hair that leaves the ear exposed lets you fully appreciate the dangle shape and the play of light in the stone. In many cultures amethyst has been associated with calm and clarity of mind, which suits the simple, everyday character of these earrings well.
