          Description
          These 1990s estate earrings are crafted in 14 karat yellow gold and feature two round 12mm checkerboard-faceted amethysts with a total weight of approximately 11.88 carats. Each amethyst is set in a sculptural J-hoop design and accented with four round brilliant diamonds—eight in total—adding 0.06 carats of sparkle with G-H color and SI2 clarity. Finished with omega backings for a secure and comfortable fit.

          Striking and dimensional, these earrings combine bold color with thoughtful structure. The large amethysts catch the light through every angled facet, while the delicate diamond accents add a touch of sparkle to the fluid gold curves. With their 1990s design influence, they offer an elegant balance of drama and refinement—perfect for evening wear or standout daytime styling.

          What Is a Checkerboard-Cut Gemstone?

          The checkerboard cut is a faceting style where the surface of the gemstone is divided into square or diamond-shaped facets across the top, creating a “checkered” effect. This cut enhances the gem’s brilliance while offering a playful texture, particularly noticeable on larger stones like these amethysts. Popularized in the late 20th century, it adds modern light play to classic gem shapes, giving a fresh twist to timeless settings.
