Victorian era 18K Gold Amethyst Diamond Earrings
A charming pair of early 19th-century French earrings featuring two beautifully saturated deep purple amethysts (7.5mm in diameter). The gemstones are bezel-set in silver with open backs, allowing their regal hue to glow with natural light.
Mounted in 18K yellow gold and stamped with the French eagle’s head hallmark for 18K, they exemplify refined French craftsmanship.
In the 19th century, amethyst was a symbol of nobility and virtue—beloved by European royalty for its rich purple tone, once considered as precious as ruby or sapphire.
Simple yet strikingly elegant, these earrings transition effortlessly from day to evening, offering timeless sophistication in a wearable antique form.
