Amethyst Earrings – Brass & Granules – Argentium Silver – 15.5 Carats
These Argentium Silver Amethyst Earrings are part of the 🏔️ LAND Design Group — grounded, textured, and strong. I bezel-set two faceted oval amethysts in solid Argentium silver, then scatter hand-formed silver granules across the surface. Brass accents add warmth and contrast, while the deep purple stones anchor the design. Together, the elements feel like wild flowers growing among stone and earth.
The amethysts have a combined weight of 15.5 carats. Their colour shifts between violet and plum as light moves across each facet. Meanwhile, the layered metals create depth and shadow, so the surface feels alive rather than flat.
Each pair is handmade and individually finished. I also form the earwires by hand from Argentium silver, so they are always nickel-free and comfortable for sensitive ears.

I bezel-set each amethyst, then solder granules and brass details into place. After refining the surface, I polish the silver to enhance the texture while keeping depth between the elements.
