Buying guide
Amethyst is purple quartz and the February birthstone. Its color ranges from pale lilac to deep violet. It rates 7 on the Mohs scale, firm enough for earrings worn often. Strong sunlight over long periods can fade some amethyst, so store your pair away from bright windows, and clean it with warm, soapy water.
A pear cut is round at one end and pointed at the other, like a teardrop. On a stud, the shape adds length and a little movement to the look even though the earring sits still. The pear's brilliant facets show off amethyst's color, deepest toward the rounded end. Each stone sits in a basket setting, with prongs joined by an open frame beneath, which protects the point and keeps the stud close to the ear.
