Light Lavender Amethyst Leaf Earrings | Handcrafted Copper & Brass Jewelry
- In stock, ready to ship
Pale purple stone. Hammered metal leaf. The kind of earring you reach for without thinking.
Lavender amethyst has a quietness to it. Not the deep, dramatic purple of traditional amethyst, but something softer. Almost lilac. Emily wire-wraps each stone by hand, then sets it against a leaf form she hammers from copper and brass. The metals are antiqued to give them warmth and depth, the kind of finish that looks like it has a history.
The leaf design isn't decorative filler. It's the structure. Each one is hand-hammered, so the texture varies slightly from pair to pair. Light catches the tiny facets differently depending on how you move. The result is something organic, grounded, and just a little bit wild.
"I wanted the stone to look like it grew there. The wire wrapping holds it secure, but the way it sits against the hammered leaf, it almost looks like morning dew caught on a branch. Lavender amethyst has this gentle energy. I don't make big claims about crystals, but there's something calming about this color. It just feels quiet."
The Artistry in the Details
- Wire-wrapped setting: Each lavender amethyst stone is secured by hand with fine wire work. No glue, no shortcuts. The wrapping becomes part of the design.
- Hand-hammered leaf form: Copper and brass shaped and textured one strike at a time. Every leaf has slightly different character.
- Antiqued finish: The metals are aged intentionally to bring out warmth and dimension. They'll continue to develop patina over time.
- Lightweight and comfortable: Despite the metalwork, these sit easy on your ears. Made for all-day wear.
- Includes velvet pouch: Arrives ready for gifting or safe storage.
Key Elements
- Lavender Amethyst
- A paler, softer variety of amethyst with a lilac-to-light-purple hue. Each stone is natural, so color intensity varies slightly. Traditionally associated with calm and clarity.
- Antiqued Copper
- Hand-formed and hammered, then aged to bring out rich, warm tones. Copper develops more character over time. Polish to brighten or let it patina naturally.
- Antiqued Brass
- Adds golden warmth against the copper's rose tones. The two metals together create depth and visual interest that single-metal pieces can't match.
A leaf. A stone. Made by hand to move with you.
