Sometimes simple is best, and these earclips fall into that category. Large, excellent color deep purple emerald cut amethysts sit within a triple border 18 karat gold frame, and affix to the earlobe with a simple yet sturdy omega back. The amethysts weigh about 16 carats together, and the mount is stamped 750 18 K. They measure 7/8\" by 6/8\", and weigh 23.2 grams ( 14.9 dwt). Subtly noticeable and very chic.
