Vintage-inspired Amethyst Stud Earrings
Item #103500Earrings Description
Whether you’re ready to begin the custom design process immediately or you just want to learn more about your options in that regard, you can reach out to our team online or stop by our Bellevue, WA showroom in person. We’ll outline the steps for you, and we’ll help you work through your options to ensure the design we ultimately produce for you is exactly what you were envisioning in every way.
Center Amethysts
At the center of each earring in this set, a large cushion cut bezel set amethyst. The elongated shape of these larger stones gives the earrings their shape, with rounded corners and slightly curved sides. The way the bezel setting follows the contours of the stones both helps to protect them and highlights their elegant lines. The two amethysts together total 1.46 carats, and their rich purple color is only enhanced by the contrast with the warm tones of the surrounding metal.
Customizing a design like this often involves selecting a different cut or type of stone to occupy the main position. For instance, one direction you could go would be to switch to round, oval, or even emerald cut stones, and you could substitute diamonds or sapphires for the amethysts as well. Earrings
Milgrain and Filigree
The bezel settings holding the amethysts are lined by double rows of milgrain beading, which adds to the vintage charm of the set. On the sides of the earrings, a basket surrounds the backs of the stones, and its sides are made from delicate scroll filigree, which brings some more classical flair and an intricate detailing to the design overall.
Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
