Buying guide

Why a cushion cut suits amethyst

A 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.

About amethyst

Amethyst 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.

Carat weight and metal

The 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.
