Round Cut Amethyst or Lavender Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings

This pair of stud earrings features matching round brilliant-cut gemstones in a soft lavender or pale amethyst hue. The stones are estimated to be approximately 5mm to 6mm in diameter, held securely in place by a multi-prong basket setting, which appears to have a six-prong configuration to maximize light entry and stone stability. The metal is likely sterling silver or white gold based on the bright silver-toned luster visible at the prongs, though no hallmark is visible in the provided image. The stones display high clarity and significant internal fire, suggesting they are either high-quality natural amethyst or, more likely, synthetic lavender cubic zirconia given the uniform saturation and sharp faceting. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips to the crown or girdle and no evidence of prong wear or metal tarnish. The facets are sharp, meeting cleanly at the table and crown, indicating machine-precision cutting associated with contemporary jewelry manufacturing. These earrings represent a classic, minimalist style suitable for daily wear, likely dating from the 2000s to the present. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with modern mass-market fine or high-fashion jewelry.
