The pair of gemstones have a combined weight of 1.75 carats, weighed before setting. The amethyst have been heated. The heating is permanent, and requires no special care because of this. The earrings included titanium earring backs. Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz and is 7 on Mohs scale of hardness. Amethyst ranges in colour from pale lilac, to deep purple. The amethyst in these earrings are a deep purple, but not too dark. Amethyst is found in several locations around the world, but it is not the same everywhere, and even has different grades within the same mine. It must be purple to be called amethyst. Amethyst is the most valued in the quartz family. Other member of the quartz family include rock crystal quartz, smoky quartz, amethyst quartz with whitish stripes, citrine, prasiolite, rose quartz, aventurine, prase, blue quartz, cat's eye quartz, hawk's eye and tiger's eye. I have photographed the earrings with LED lighting. The pictures have been enlarged to show detail. The earrings are pictured next to a quarter for size reference. Earrings arrive is a gift box, which is ideal for storing. Protecting your jewelry from scratching each other is your number one priority. This box works perfectly, even the lock tight envelope will do.The earrings include titanium earring backs. Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) transitional metal with a silver colour. Titanium is as strong as some steels, but 45% lighter. The earring backs are easy to hold and easy to attach to the earring prong.I use high quality metals in the jewelry settings. I do not use silver plated settings. The settings are .925 sterling silver and is the standard for silver. It is called .925 because it is an alloy that is 925 parts out of a thousand silver. It is allowed for the other 75 parts to be other metals (usually copper) to enhance the strength, because pure silver is very soft and not structurally strong enough for many jewelry applications. Other "silver settings" come with different elements in their composition. German/Nickel Silver, which is an alloy consisting of copper, zinc and nickel, contains no silver. Many people have allergic reactions to nickel. Other settings may be called Mexican Silver, Indian Silver, Montana Silver, Pewter, Tin, Pot or Base Metal or simply silver. The content of these are less clear and do not guarantee the quantity or silver content. .925 is the best form of silver. It is durable and has a high sheen. Sterling Silver is considered a precious metal. Inside the gift box, I am including a 1" X 1" anti-tarnish tab. This is the same technology used by NASA, the Guggenheim Museum, the British Royal Mint and jewelry manufacturers worldwide. The tab provides protection from tarnish for up to 12 months. It does not leave deposits on items it protects. It is non-toxic, non-abrasive, and will not scratch or harm metals or gemstones. Place tab in jewelry cases, storage bags or boxes. Each tab protects up to 30 cubic inches of container space.I guarantee my jewelry 100%. If you are dissatisfied with your purchase, return your item and I will gladly refund your purchase price. I do not charge a restocking fee on returned merchandise. I am always happy to answer your questions. Thank you for visiting my store.
