Amethyst Gold Plated Teardrop Earrings
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz traditionally associated with calm and intuition. These earrings set natural amethyst stones in a gold-plated teardrop setting, so the deep purple stones catch the light with a rich, regal glow. Because amethyst is a natural stone, the color depth varies from pair to pair.

How to wear it
These are made for easy, everyday wear. Put them in last, after applying lotion, perfume, or hairspray, to help protect the gold plating.
Care & cleansing
The setting is gold-plated rather than solid gold, so wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store them away from moisture and chemicals. Remove before swimming, showering, or applying skincare products to extend the life of the plating. This is a decorative jewelry piece and not a health product or medical device.
Frequently asked questions
What are these earrings and what are they for?
They're natural amethyst stones set in a gold-plated teardrop setting, worn as everyday earrings. They're a decorative jewelry piece — not a health product or medical device.
Are they water-safe?
It's best to remove them before showering, swimming, or washing your hands with them on. The gold-plated setting can wear thin with repeated moisture and chemical exposure over time.
Can I wear them every day, or in the sun?
Yes, they're designed for everyday wear. Just avoid extended direct sun exposure and pools or hot tubs, which are the most common causes of both color fading and plating wear.
How do I cleanse and charge amethyst?
Many people cleanse amethyst with sound, sage or palo santo smoke, or by resting it near (not directly in) moonlight overnight. Avoid soaking, since these are plated earrings.
How can I tell my amethyst is genuine?
Natural amethyst usually shows subtle color zoning and small internal inclusions rather than a perfectly uniform, flawless purple, which can be a sign of glass or synthetic material.
What pairs well with amethyst?
Amethyst pairs naturally with clear quartz for amplifying energy, or with rose quartz for a soft, calming combination in your jewelry box.
