The gorgeous, lively new Ava Earrings in Amethyst, Pearl and Gold: so in-vogue!

Lilac is making a special impact this season, its colour a major thing on the catwalks . . all of which makes our luscious new amethyst, pearl and 18ct gold earrings perfect to bring an Autumn-Winter look right up to date.

The amethyst is certainly the most gorgeous gemstone, and these lovely amethyst, natural baroque pearl 18ct gold drop earrings are delightful. Large enough to make a statement, they are sophisticated classics, and the amethyst gems are faceted so that they sparkle as they catch the light, flashing their lilac hues. It is also an ancient romantic gift: St Valentine wore an amethyst and Leonardo da Vinci extolled its propensity for ‘quickening the intelligence’. Until the 19th century amethyst was as expensive as ruby and emerald. (It is also the gem for 7th and 17th wedding anniversaries—in case this helps a present-buying initiative!)

The pearls are approximately13mm diameter, the total drop is 53mm and the setting is a combination of 18ct yellow gold and gold vermeil. Fully hallmarked, they carry our usual 100% money back guarantee.
