When I saw these earrings, I just about fell out of my chair. My wife Christine enjoys many things about her jewelry. But her absolute favorites are sterling silver and amethyst. So when you find something like this from Zina that combines BOTH in one earring set, it was pay dirt for me resulting in a very happy wife. These earrings are stylish enough whether you are going casual or elegant. B-E-A-YOOTIFUL!
