Amethyst earrings

Earrings measuring 48 x 11 mm, crafted from high-purity 950 silver, featuring hand-faceted amethyst stones in two shapes: a 10 mm round and an 8 x 6 mm oval. The design consists of the stones set with prongs, each hanging in a dynamic position relative to the other. They fasten with a Spanish-style hook clasp.

According to Greek mythology, Dionysus, the god of wine, desired a maiden named Amethystos. She wished to remain chaste and prayed to the gods for help. The goddess Artemis heard her prayers, transforming her into a transparent crystal. When Dionysus learned of this, humiliated, he poured wine over the rock, staining it purple. The Greeks and Romans drank from amethyst cups to avoid drunkenness.
