Amy created this pair of "Amy"thyst earrings to go with the "Amy"thyst & filigree disk-and-loop collage bracelet, as seen in the 2009/2010 Rings & Things gemstone ad series V. To create buttons instead of earrings, omit the ear wires. The wrapped loop on the back of the filigree can serve as the button shank.

Lab-grown amethyst is just one of our many beautiful gemstones. Browse through our Gemstone Beads Index for more information about our ever-growing line of gemstones!
