Our designer took inspiration from an ancient 2500 year old piece of jewelry in the British Museum to make these gorgeous earrings. Crafted from the finest 925 sterling silver, lavishly plated in 18k yellow gold with a hammered bronze style finish for that antique look. At the center of each piece is a genuine 1 carat cushion cut amethyst surrounded by trios of our Diamondeau? - flawless simulated diamond gems.
