Amethyst Earrings – Argentium Silver – Rectangle Waves
Each marquise-cut Amethyst shows vivid purple tones that shift in the light. Because the stones sit in open bezels, light passes through and increases their natural sparkle. As a result, the deep violet contrasts clearly against the bright silver.
I cut each rectangle from solid Argentium silver sheet. Then I form flowing wave lines across the surface. These lines create movement within a clean, structured shape. I solder and refine every element by hand. Finally, I set the gemstones and attach handmade Argentium silver earwires. The earwires are nickel-free.
Light moves along the raised wave texture. Meanwhile, the marquise gemstones draw the eye vertically. Although the profile is slim, the layered texture adds depth. Therefore, the earrings feel balanced and expressive.

The rectangular form creates structure. However, the flowing lines soften the geometry. Together, they create clarity and movement.
