Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is used in the earrings?

The earrings are made of rhodium plated over .925 sterling silver, which gives a bright white finish over the silver base. Rhodium plating resists tarnish and does not require polishing, though the layer can wear thin over years of use.

What stones are set in the earrings, and how many diamonds are there?

Each earring is set with a pear cut natural amethyst, and twelve round diamonds across the pair are arranged in a micro-pave setting. The diamonds have I-J color and I1-I2 clarity and total 0.042 ct in weight.

How do the earrings attach to the ear?

The earrings use a push back closure, a simple friction-fit fastening common to stud and drop styles. This keeps the design straightforward to put on and take off.

How should I care for the earrings?

Wipe the piece with a soft cloth to keep the rhodium plated silver bright, and avoid chlorine and perfume which can dull the finish over time. Store it dry and closed when not in use to help keep it looking its best.

How to Care for Your Sterling Silver Pear Cut Amethyst and Diamond Accent Teardrop Drop Earrings

1. Wipe the piece with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils and keep the rhodium plated finish bright.
2. Avoid contact with chlorine, perfume, and other chemicals that can dull the rhodium plating over time.
3. Store the piece dry and closed in a pouch or lined box to slow tarnishing of the silver beneath.
4. Skip polishing compounds or dips, since they can thin the rhodium layer.
5. Clean gently around the diamonds and amethyst with a soft cloth rather than an abrasive material.
