Amethyst Sweep Earrings

Sterling silver earrings with amethyst dangles. Our simple sweep earrings are an elegant and versatile addition to your jewelry collection - we would even call these essential! A faceted amethyst briolette dangles gracefully from the smooth sterling silver sweep - it moves when you move and catches the light. Amethyst is February's birthstone and the stone for the sixth and seventeenth wedding anniversaries. This gemstone was said to strengthen relationships as well as grant the wearer courage. At one time only royalty could wear the gem.  A briolette is a gemstone cut characterized by its elongated pear or oval shape and numerous triangular facets. The cut maximizes light reflection, creating a brilliant sparkle and vibrant display of color.
