FAQs

Amethyst has been prized for centuries, often associated with royalty and nobility. The technique of hand-carving gemstones became particularly popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, allowing lapidaries to display intricate geometric and floral patterns.

Pieces crafted from 9ct rose gold contain 37.5 percent pure gold alloyed with copper, which gives the metal its distinct warm, pinkish hue. Authentic vintage items often feature traditional makers marks or assay office stamps indicating gold purity.

Authenticity is determined by examining the precision of the hand-carving, the presence of age-appropriate micro-abrasions under magnification, the construction of the hook or findings, and verifying metal purity through standard assay testing.

Pair these earrings with neutral tones or contrasting jewel colours to highlight the purple hue. They work well as a standalone statement piece for both evening wear and elevated everyday styling.

Store amethyst jewellery in a fabric-lined box away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can fade the purple colour. Clean gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners.
