Amethyst .925 Silver Earrings

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this pair of earrings: Amethyst .925 Silver Earrings (shop SKU IGAMETE55).

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, colored by traces of iron. In crystal traditions, amethyst is associated with calm and intuition. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
