Estate 14K Yellow Gold Lavender Jadeite and Amethyst Halo Stud Earrings

Crafted in 14kt yellow gold, these estate cluster earrings from the 1980’s each center on an oval cabochon lavender jadeite (dyed) measuring 13.22mm x 11.33mm, with a combined weight of approximately 12.62tcw. Each jadeite is prong set and framed by a halo of round 2.75mm amethysts, thirty-two in total, weighing approximately 2.27tcw. The earrings measure 3/4 x 5/8 inches, weigh 13.2 grams together, and are stamped 14K.

Jadeite is the rarer and more highly valued of the two minerals sold as jade, and its lavender variety is especially sought after. The jadeite in these earrings has been dyed to deepen its lavender color, a common treatment for this stone. Dyed jadeite is best kept away from harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged strong sunlight, and a soft cloth is all it needs for cleaning. The surrounding amethysts, a purple variety of quartz, add a deeper violet tone that pairs well with the soft center stones. Posts with hinged omega backs hold the earrings securely and comfortably against the ear.

A colorful choice for collectors of vintage gemstone jewelry, these lavender and violet clusters bring a soft, cohesive palette to everyday or evening wear. With amethyst as the February birthstone, they also make a thoughtful gift.
