The widespread abundance of Arab people in northern Africa, including Morocco, began in the 7th century, when Islam came into existence. Descendants of those original Arabs handcrafted these Arabian Purple Amethyst Earrings for Blue Gobi. The elaborate design is typical of the Arabs’ descent, an ancestry which can be traced back to the tribes of Arabia. Measuring 2.8 inches and made of 925 silver, these Arabian Purple Amethyst Earrings sport geometric elements, such as circles and triangles, highlighted by deep violet gemstone accents that dangle from swaying chain links.
Traditionally coveting the precious gemstones of diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires, Arab women are now recognizing the beauty and value in semi-precious stones as well, like amethysts. The Arab tribes are catering to this newfound jewelry preference with handcrafted amethyst earrings like these.
Believed to protect its wearer from the guise of seduction, the amethyst is a gemstone of dichotomy. Its rich violet coloration is just as likely to seduce as to foil seduction. A member of the quartz family, amethysts, have been coveted by princes for millennia for their beauty and regality.
These Amethyst and Silver earrings measure approximately 2.8 inches.

All gemstone jewelry, including amethysts, should be wiped clean with a soft cloth to avoid scratching its surface. Wash the stones with warm soapy water, gently brush them with a toothbrush and then wipe them dry.
925 sterling silver should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your 925 sterling silver shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your 925 sterling silver to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
