Why Choose Amethyst Earrings?
Amethyst jewelry, and in particular amethyst earrings, are becoming more and more popular these days. This mineral is perhaps the most desirable variety of quartz, and looks incredibly beautiful, with a rich diversity of shades from subtle, almost colorless lilac, through all hues of pink, to an intensely deep violet. The great thing about amethyst earrings, or in fact any other kind of jewelry such as bracelets, pendants and rings, is that they are incredibly good value for money. Amethyst is far less expensive than the more traditional precious stones. So if your budget will not stretch to a lavish pair of ruby earrings, maybe you would be served well by amethyst instead.
Amethyst drop earrings were very desirable pieces in Victorian times, many surviving though to today, and they are still very appealing as they originally featured a Gothic look using deep purples. The settings from the past were usually open so that light could pour through the stone itself. These still look beautiful today, whether you are a modern Goth or not.
These days, modern amethyst earrings tend to be lighter in color, with pinks extremely sought after, especially by people who cannot afford the cost of the more highly priced pink diamonds or sapphires. To further keep the price tag on the lighter side, pink amethyst looks prettiest in a white metal setting, rather than yellow gold. So sterling silver is a good, inexpensive option. But if you prefer white gold or platinum, these more expensive options are also available.
The other thing about fashionable pink amethyst jewelry is that it is seen in the media regularly, worn by A list celebrities. This inevitably leads to high demand for similar, but more affordable, pieces by fans who want to emulate their heroes. So at the moment, amethyst in rings and pendants are all the rage, with these pieces of jewelry containing large, brash pieces of the stone.
An ideal gift then, especially for a younger female, would be a cute pair of pink amethyst drop earrings set in silver, as they would be trendy, affordable and very welcome!
