The photo is very accurate, except the metal color is a little darker. They have been plated. Looks like white gold.  The silver is highly polished. The earrings are approximately 1/2" thick. In length, these are huggie hoops. The closure is secure.  The stones are about 3mm each.

 The stones are a deep rich purple, every bit as dark as photographed. They have a good cut.  They're not shiny bright; these have deep, rich, sparkling depths of dark purple Amethyst. They are classic huggie hoops, but the addition of the stones lend warmth and a touch of interest and elegance. Good quality.
