6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm.
Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos.
In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the general description or “dimensions” tab.

Amethyst, with its signature violet to purple hue, is a variety of quartz known for its calming and protective energies. Primary sources include Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia, with its color derived from irradiation, impurities of iron, and subsequent heat treatment.
The name “amethyst” comes from the Greek “amethystos,” meaning “not intoxicated,” reflecting its historical use as a talisman against drunkenness. Alternative names include: Bishop’s Stone, Violet Quartz.
Amethyst resonates with Neptune, embodying spirituality, intuition, and tranquility. It’s strongly associated with the crown chakra, facilitating spiritual connection, meditation, and peace of mind. Here’s how amethyst has been perceived across cultures:
Buddhist Tradition: Amethyst beads are used in malas for meditation, believed to promote inner peace and clear the mind of negative thoughts.
Greek Mythology: One of the most famous myths tells of Dionysus, who vowed to unleash his tigers on the next person who crossed his path. That person was the nymph Amethystos, whom the goddess Artemis turned into a clear crystal to protect her. Dionysus, remorseful, poured wine over the crystal, staining it purple.
Medieval Europe: Amethyst was considered a gem of royalty, symbolizing piety and celibacy, often used in the adornments of bishops and cardinals to signify their spiritual connection.
Hindu Mythology: While not directly linked to specific deities, amethyst’s color and calming effect align with practices aimed at spiritual enlightenment and meditation, reflecting the pursuit of higher consciousness.
