Modern Teardrop Amethyst and Silver-Tone Hook Earrings

This is a pair of contemporary fashion earrings featuring large, polished amethyst gemstones in a stylized teardrop or flat briolette shape. The amethyst stones exhibit a translucent pale purple to light violet hue with visible natural internal inclusions, feathers, and faint color zoning characteristic of genuine quartz varieties. Each large stone is suspended from a simple silver-tone metal circular ring which attaches to a shepherd's hook or french hook wire. A distinctive feature includes a small secondary purple bead or faceted stone accent wire-wrapped near the loop and ear hook. The metal components appear to be a non-precious base metal with a silver-colored plating, as no visible hallmarks (such as 925) are apparent in the image. The ear hooks are equipped with clear rubber post backs for security. The construction suggests a handmade or artisan assembly style rather than high-end fine jewelry. The condition appears to be fair to good, with some minor oxidation or wear on the metal finish and typical surface abrasions on the soft-edged gemstone pieces. One ear wire appears slightly bent out of its original circular alignment. Estimated to be late 20th to early 21st-century production.
