Genuine Amethyst faceted rounds and one faceted teardrop are bezel set in 925 sterling silver in the main part of the earring. Gorgeous briolettes - rounded teardrop shape with facets all around - dangle from hand wired loops.
There is a lot of lore about Amethyst because it has been a favorite throughout history. One attribution to this stone is that it enhances common sense. Given the unique beauty of these earrings, I had to name them UNcommon sense.
About 1 1/4" from the end of the French hook. I can sustitute sterling posts or non-pierced clasps for the French hooks.
