Amazon.com Product Description
Younger than springtime are these pretty drop earrings that feature sweet shades of violet-blue iolite and lavender amethyst for a minimal little accessory. The petite jewelry has a fresh, youthful look. Each earring contains two nicely transparent and shimmering facet-cut gemstones. First is the darker iolite - soft liquid blue - in a side-lying oval measuring 4x6 millimeters. Below is the paler amethyst in a special cut resembling a multidimensional teardrop that measures 5x7 millimeters. The iolite is bezel-set or framed in sterling silver. The earrings dangle straight and do not swing, and they fasten with ear wires. Intriguing iolite gets its name from the Greek word for violet. It is known as the gemstone for clear vision and its pleochroic property causes it to show different colors from different directions. It is the 21st anniversary gemstone. Amethyst is Februarys birthstone and the sixth-anniversary gemstone, and it is believed to beckon good luck. Too petite to wear with bold fashions, these iolite and amethyst earrings brighten resort and summer whites or simple winter solids.
