The deep purple of four amethysts brings a note of striking elegance to these earrings. The faceted cut breaks light into small flashes that shift in intensity with every turn of the head and tilt of the neck. The dangle form sets the stones close to the face, near the jawline and hairline, where the purple plays best against the skin tone. The modern lines of the setting are slender and light, with no unnecessary detail to distract from the stone itself.

Each amethyst was inspected individually and hand-selected for clarity and depth of colour, so the quality of the stone stays high while the price remains approachable. Silver gets more expensive year after year, so a well-chosen stone at a reasonable price is a rarity worth noticing today. The core of the earrings is refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, coated with a thick layer of 18-carat gold - it is this gold that touches the skin, not the silver, so contact stays safe even with prolonged wear. Compliance with the vermeil standard is attested by the stamped vermeil mark V, while the piece's origin is confirmed by the French maker's mark registered with the assay office. Amethyst has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, making it a fitting choice for a gift with a personal message.

For the office, these earrings work best with a plain shirt and a well-tailored jacket in a muted colour - charcoal, navy or cool grey will bring out the depth of the purple without competing with it. Hair pulled back or tucked behind the ears reveals the neckline and lets the facets work freely. At 3.7 g, the earrings wear lightly all day long, and in the evening, against a dark dress, the amethyst's purple takes on an even stronger character.
