Amethyst Hoop Earrings

A striking, unusual pair of vintage amethyst and 14 karat yellow gold hoop earrings. These earrings each feature an oval shaped amethyst incorporated directly into the hoop near the post, giving the classic circular form some added color and sparkle while retaining the easy wearability of a classic gold hoop. The hoops have a pleasant design and substantial profile.

Amethyst has been treasured throughout history for its beautiful purple color and has long been associated with clarity, protection, and sobriety. Its distinctive violet hue ranges from delicate lilac to deeply saturated purple, making it one of the most recognizable varieties of quartz. This pair of earrings features a rich classic purple pair of amethysts, which are beautifully offset by the warm luster of the gold.
