Amethyst and Cultured Pearl Halo Earrings

Oval amethysts take center stage in these mid-century earrings, each encircled by a halo of cultured pearls. Each amethyst sits in a 14k yellow gold setting, with points radiating outward to a full halo of pearls. The angular gold detail gives the earrings a lively outline, while the pearls soften the effect and draw attention back to the gemstones.

The pearls give the earrings a full, rounded silhouette, while the amethysts provide a strong focal point. Their combination of color, luster, and generous scale makes them a lovely choice for an occasion, with enough versatility to wear whenever an outfit calls for something distinctive. Omega backs hold them securely against the ear.
