RC-E3

Three faceted teardrops of deep purple amethyst step down the ear, each held in a wide, warm-gold bezel that gives the stone a broad, rounded frame.

Material: Brass
Stones: Faceted natural amethyst
Color: Gold and purple
Drop: 2.5 in
Width: 0.5 in
Closure: Post back
Origin: India

The drops link with small jump rings, so each teardrop swings on its own and catches light through the facets as it moves. At two and a half inches long, the earring reads elongated but not heavy — a line down the neck rather than a pull on the lobe.

Amethyst is a natural stone, so color depth and clarity vary slightly from piece to piece.

The Story

Bezel-setting holds a stone by wrapping a thin wall of metal around its edge and pressing the rim down to grip it, rather than relying on prongs. The bezel has to sit flush all the way around a stone that isn't machine-perfect, which is why it rewards a steady hand.

The teardrop is a staple silhouette in Indian gem-set jewelry, valued for how it lengthens the line of an earring. Stacking three in stepping sizes gives the drop a rhythm — the eye travels down in stages rather than landing all at once.

Each earring begins as sheet brass, cut and shaped into three teardrop bezels, then soldered to hold their faceted amethyst. The stones are set individually, the bezel edge burnished down around the girdle to lock them in place, and the three drops linked with jump rings so they swing freely.
