Dainty little drop earrings, with a sterling silver wire and beads, and an unpolished Amethyst bead on each. Lovely colour graduation on the beads, from the palest lilac to a deep violet. Made by Lauren By Sea, an artist from Shoreham by Sea.
All gemstones can be damaged through wear and tear. Make sure you check for loose stones or damaged prongs periodically. Always take your jewellery off whenever you are doing activities that might cause damage. Remember that household cleaners and chlorine in swimming pools can damage many gems.
Jewellery is best stored individually in a soft pouch or a box with compartments away from sunlight and where harder gemstones can’t scratch softer ones.
