{"title":"Cushion Cut Amethyst Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese amethyst cushion cut earrings hold a natural, treated amethyst in a solitaire basket stud. The cushion's soft square outline and rounded corners give the purple a gentle, glowing look. Choose the total carat weight and the metal: white, yellow or rose gold, platinum, or Silvadium, a tarnish-resistant sterling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a cushion cut suits amethyst\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cushion cut is a square to slightly rectangular shape with rounded corners and broad facets, often compared to a pillow. The larger facets show color in wide flashes, so the amethyst's purple looks full and even. The rounded corners have no sharp points to chip, which helps a stone worn every day. In a basket stud, four prongs hold the stone on a low frame that sits close to the ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout amethyst\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is the purple variety of quartz and the birthstone for February. It rates 7 on the Mohs scale, enough for earrings, which take fewer knocks than rings. Tones run from pale lilac to deep violet. Wash the studs in warm, soapy water with a soft brush, and avoid long hours in strong sunlight, which can fade the color over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCarat weight and metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe studs come from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight, so a pair can be a small daily accent or a bold statement. Gold comes in 10K, 14K or 18K. Yellow and rose gold warm the purple, while white gold, platinum and silver keep it cool and crisp. Prices start under $200, and many pairs are about $400.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade to order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is made for you in 10–15 days.
