AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A pair of dazzling and radiant earrings in 925 silver plated with 18-carat white gold, adorned with a harmonious and elegant design.
Each earring features a large, oval central amethyst, measuring 8x6 millimeters, precisely set in the center of the composition. Surrounding it is a crown of 14 smaller, teardrop-shaped amethysts, each 5x3 millimeters, radiating outward to create a dynamic and radiant effect. The stones are secured by small prongs that enhance their shape and brilliance. The gemstone color is extraordinarily vibrant, ranging from intense magenta to darker purple, with a luster that reflects light vividly. The white gold plating further accentuates the bright color of the stones, creating a refined and luminous contrast. A particularly refined detail is the open setting between each teardrop, near the central stone: tiny, carefully designed spaces that allow light to pass through the structure, increasing the brightness, depth, and sparkle of the amethysts. The overall design evokes the image of a stylized flower or a shining sun, giving these earrings a scenic and precious charm. Overall, it is a pair of dazzling earrings, capable of capturing light from every angle and expressing a captivating brilliance.
The earrings measure 20x18 millimeters. Closure with snap lever. 925 hallmark present.

My gaze on the jewel
These earrings are not only beautiful: they incorporate technical solutions, color choices, and artisanal details that an untrained eye would hardly notice, but which determine their aesthetic impact and overall quality. Here are the key points I had the pleasure of observing:
The perfectly radial arrangement of the stones: the teardrop amethysts are set symmetrically and rigorously, forming a regular oval design that is not at all easy to achieve.
This requires millimeter precision in the setting and an impeccable craftsmanship.
2. The open setting between one stone and another: as I mentioned in the description, in the area near the central gem, between one drop and the next, the setting features open spaces that allow light to enter. It is a refined technical detail that increases the stones' brightness, creates optical depth, makes the earring lighter and more airy. An inexperienced eye sees 'only the stones,' but does not notice this studied play of full and empty.
3. The color grading of amethysts. Not all stones are identical: they display shades ranging from intense magenta to deep violet. An expert recognizes the careful selection of the gems to create a uniform yet vibrant chromatic effect.
The central stone as a perfectly calibrated focal point: the oval amethyst in the center measures 8x6 mm and has proportions designed to harmonize with the surrounding smaller stones. It neither dominates nor is overshadowed: this balance is the result of a carefully studied design.
5. The quality of the claw setting. Each small amethyst is held by very fine claws: almost invisible from a distance, but crucial for maximizing the surface of the stones without covering their edges or altering their brilliance. Such work requires artisanal skill.
The 'flower' effect is perfectly achieved. The design clearly evokes a corolla composed of gem-set petals. What might be overlooked is how difficult it is to achieve such a clean effect, especially with drop-shaped stones all aligned in the same direction and at the same distance.
The earrings are shipped immediately after purchase worldwide, with fast and insured express courier. A tracking code is provided after the sale. The item is carefully and professionally packaged. When purchasing multiple items from the collection, the buyer pays the cost of a single shipment.
Seller's Story
For about 30 years I have been collecting antique jewels from every corner of the world. These small objects live, breathe, pass down their origins, describe the places they have seen, the historical periods they have lived through. Each has its own life, its own history, but they all have one thing in common: they reflect the soul of those who own them. I can effectively state that a jewel is matter that becomes emotion.
