These earrings have a very striking purple banded agate at the bottom of each stack, the stone being dark purple in some areas and almost white in others. These stones are dyed to enhance their colours and this is just how the dye has been absorbed by these particular stones.

The wire-wrapped stacks comprise the large faceted Purple Banded Agate at the bottom, then a Sterling Silver spacer, a Rainbow Moonstone faceted rondelle in the centre, another Sterling Silver spacer and finally a round faceted Amethyst at the top. There is a Sterling Silver flower shaped bead cap above the Amethyst and below the Agate, and the stacks are suspended from Sterling Silver ear hooks with coil and bead trim.

Drop length: 1 inch (2.5cm)
Stones: Purple Banded Agate faceted round 8mm, Rainbow Moonstone faceted rondelle approximately 5mm diameter and 4mm high, Amethyst faceted round 3mm
Metal: all metal components are 925 Sterling Silver – the ear hooks are stamped 925 on the hook

These earrings would make a lovely gift for someone with a February birthday as Amethyst is the birthstone for February.

The earrings will be supplied in a gift box.

Every piece of jewellery is made with care and will give you many years of joy if looked after properly. Here are a few simple tips to keep it looking its best.

Avoid contact with water, lotions, perfumes, hairspray, suncream/aftersun, shampoos, soaps and so on. It’s best to put your jewellery on last, after applying all make-up, hairsprays, perfumes, etc.
It is not advisable to wear your jewellery when swimming, showering or bathing, or in such environments as a sauna, or when intensively exercising (due to sweat being not only wet, but also salty). You should never wear jewellery when using exercise equipment or equipment in the workplace where it could become caught in machinery.
Included with your purchase is a small cleaning cloth which you can use from time to time to give your jewellery a gentle clean and polish. Take extra care with plated metals as cleaning too vigorously may cause the plated surface to become damaged. Gemstone jewellery should not be immersed in water for cleaning as this can damage the surface of the stones. If it needs a deeper clean, I would recommend taking your jewellery instead to a local jeweller that provides such services.
It’s best to store your jewellery in a dark, dry place, like a jewellery box or similar, to reduce the risk of tarnish to the metal elements. However, if tarnish does occur, this can easily be removed using an anti-tarnish cloth.
