Amethyst Earrings - Argentium Silver - 2429 Make a statement with this contemporary design handcrafted by award winning designer, David Worcester. Cast in Argentium 960 premium quality, 100% recycled silver, this specially processed piece measures (height, width and depth) 1"x 5/16" x 5/8" or 25mm x 8mm x 16mm and holds two AAA 6mm Amethysts. PLEASE LOOK AT THE MEASUREMENTS CAREFULLY. SOME PHOTOS HAVE BEEN ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL, WHILE OTHERS HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED TO FIT THE FRAME. ACTUAL SIZE CANNOT BE DETERMINED FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS. AMETHYST: Amethyst is the most precious stone within the quartz group. It is the birthstone for February and the gemstone for the 4th, 6th and 9th wedding anniversaries. Country of origin is Brazil. Treatment: Traditional heat treatment. ARGENTIUM SILVER is a special alloy, verified as the most tarnish resistant made, but an occasional simple wipe with a soft cloth, and tucking the piece into the provided, protective pouch will further enhance its natural aversion to tarnish. Eco-friendly recycled silver.
