Buying guide
A princess cut is a square stone seen from above, with sharp corners and many facets that run down to a point underneath. In amethyst those facets break the color into bright flashes of violet. The corners are the most exposed part of the stone, so the basket of prongs that holds each one matters. The low basket frame keeps the stud close to the ear and lets light reach the stone from the sides.
Amethyst is purple quartz and the birthstone for February. It rates 7 on the Mohs scale, which suits earrings well, since they take far fewer knocks than a ring. Color ranges from light lilac to dark royal purple. Clean the studs with warm, soapy water and a soft brush, and keep them out of strong sunlight for long stretches, which can slowly pale the color.
The studs come from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight, from a small everyday pair up to a large square that reads from across the room. Gold is offered in 10K, 14K or 18K. Yellow and rose gold bring out warmth in the purple; white gold, platinum and silver give a cooler frame. Prices start under $200, and many pairs cost about $400.
Each piece is made for you in 10–15 days. Shipping is free on orders over $500, and returns are accepted within 30 days.
