Gold Amethyst Elongated EarringsGold Amethyst Earrings These elongated earrings are crafted from 9ct yellow gold and feature polished amethyst drop stones. Each purple amethyst measures approximately 10mm in length, suspended from the gold to create a refined profile. Amethyst is a variety of quartz, and its distinct purple colour is the result of natural iron traces present within the crystal's structure. The 9ct gold provides a warm, classic setting for the gemstones.
