The pictures do not really do justice to these beautiful earrings. The amethyst is faceted, making it stand out more than the picture would indicate. The earrings are very well made and sturdy without being heavy. The round upper part sits comfortably against the ear and doesn't hang down, the dangle part is light and comfortable. These would be discrete enough for work, but fun for a night out, a great transitional earring.

I have allergies to I need to the sterling or stainless in silver, gold, or titanium. Very pretty.
