I have had this piece for many years. It is very beautiful.
Very pleased with my earrings.
Crafted and finished by hand, this stunning set features three rings with a dazzling genuine purple amethyst stone set in a hammered sterling silver bezel. The .25" length and .4" width of the top ring perfectly showcase the faceted cut of the stone, adding depth and sparkle to the already mesmerizing purple and silver colors. Weighing a total of 6.7 grams, this set is both lightweight and durable, making it the perfect addition to any jewelry collection.
Description: Amethyst is a variety of quartz that's most commonly recognized for its stunning shades of violet and purple. Its color can range from a light, pinkish violet to a deep purple that can sometimes appear almost black. The intensity of its color can vary based on the iron content within the crystal structure. Amethyst often forms in geodes, large, hollow rocks lined with crystal formations inside.
Fun Fact: Amethyst was believed by ancient Greeks to protect its owner from drunkenness. They would create drinking vessels from amethyst and wear amulets made of it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. This belief is also reflected in the name "amethyst," which comes from the Greek "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated."
