Faceted Amethyst Bead Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Earrings

These one-of-a-kind earrings feature genuine faceted amethyst beads suspended within elongated sterling silver hoop forms, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. The open, graceful design highlights the natural brilliance of the amethyst while allowing light to pass through the polished silver. Formed at the bench through disciplined tool work, these earrings reflect the refined simplicity of heirloom quality silver.

Form & Proportion

Measuring approximately 2 inches in length, the earrings feature an elongated hoop-like silhouette that creates an airy, elegant profile. A polished sterling silver bead is positioned near the center of each hoop, while a genuine faceted amethyst bead dangles below, adding subtle movement and flashes of violet with every turn.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, each component is individually shaped, assembled, and polished within the studio. The faceted amethyst beads are carefully suspended to maximize movement and light reflection, while the bright silver finish enhances the clean, contemporary lines of the design. Every detail is bench-built using traditional silversmithing techniques, resulting in hand-forged sterling silver jewelry designed for lasting wear.
