10.44 Amethyst & Diamond Drop Earrings 14k

These drop earrings feature 10.44 carats of round cut amethysts set in ten-prong crown baskets with 14 karat rose gold posts and 14 karat white gold settings. The round cut maximizes the amethysts' vibrant purple color through faceting that creates even saturation and sparkle throughout the stones.

Round brilliant and single cut diamonds totaling .24 carats accent the design in channel and bezel settings, providing bright white contrast against the deep purple gemstones. Single cut diamonds have fewer facets than full brilliant cuts, creating simpler flashes of light that complement rather than compete with the larger amethysts.

Milgrain beading edges the metalwork, adding fine textural detail along the borders of the settings. The earrings measure 1 inch in length and secure with lever backs that click closed for all-day wear without worry. At 5.22 carats per earring, the amethysts have substantial presence while the mixed metal design—rose gold posts with white gold settings—creates visual contrast that highlights both the gemstones and the metalwork.
