Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are the earrings made from?

The earrings are crafted in rhodium plated over .925 sterling silver, which gives a bright white, tarnish-resistant finish over the sterling silver base. The plating is a finish over the metal rather than a solid precious metal throughout.

What stones are set in the earrings, and how much do the diamonds weigh?

Each earring is set with an oval, checkerboard-cut purple amethyst held in a prong setting, along with round diamonds set pave style. The diamonds total 0.05 ct in weight across the pair, with I-J color and I1-I2 clarity.

How do I care for the piece?

Wipe the piece with a soft cloth to keep the rhodium plated finish and sterling silver bright, and avoid chlorine and perfume, which can affect both the plating and the silver underneath. Store it dry and closed when not being worn.

How does the piece close?

The earrings close with a push back, a simple and common finding for drop earrings.

How to Care for Your Sterling Silver Oval Purple Amethyst and Diamond Accent Rope Design Drop Earrings

1. Wipe the piece gently with a soft cloth to remove oils and restore shine to the rhodium plated finish and sterling silver.
2. Avoid contact with chlorine and perfume, which can dull the plating and darken the silver over time.
3. Store the piece dry and closed, ideally in a soft pouch or lined box, when not being worn.
4. Skip polishing compounds or dips, since they can wear away the rhodium plating.
