Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz thought to hold protective qualities, found worldwide. The ancient Egyptians used it as a gemstone, while the Greeks felt it could heal the afflicted. Amethyst's captivating natural purple color with a glass-like reflective shine is still adored to this day. Zuni jeweler Dillon Cheama's gorgeous sterling silver post earrings are home to many faceted amethysts with majestic royal purple hues. The individual gems are held in custom made bezels encased by twisted silver roping and tiny silver florets. These medium-weight beauties are approximately 1 1/8" long, 1" wide and 1/8" deep.
