Rich purple amethyst stones add a striking accent to these elegant sterling silver drop earrings. Crafted from high quality sterling silver and set on classic french wires, the earrings feature a silver bead-shaped circle with graceful oxidized swirls. A round faceted amethyst stone, richly hued and set in matching bead-shaped bezel, adds just the right touch of radiant shine and color. The earrings have an elegant yet not overwhelming length of about 1 1/4 inches. The fine quality of the silver is revealed in the smoothness of its polished surface and in its delicate, yet unmistakable weight. Amethyst, a stone favored by royalty throughout the ages for its regal color, is the birthstone for the month of February.
