Amethyst Earrings – Argentium Silver – Wave Curl – 34.57 Carats
An onion-shaped teardrop Amethyst anchors this Water design. The gemstones show deep purple colour with fine faceting and strong clarity. Their total weight is 34.57 carats. Each curl is hand formed from solid Argentium silver, then soldered and refined by hand. The stones were mined in Brazil and are graded IF (internally flawless). Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Light moves across the curved silver surface. Meanwhile, the faceting reflects flashes of violet and indigo as the earrings shift. The curl suggests motion, yet the bezel setting keeps the design grounded. Although bold in colour, the proportions remain balanced and wearable.

I cut and form each curl from solid silver sheet. Then I solder the structure and refine the lines. After setting the gemstones, I polish the surface and attach the earwires.
