It's So Etsy: Sweet On You Amethyst Earrings

- These beautiful light purple marquise briolette earrings caught my eye because amethyst is my birthstone. Plus, as Etsy crafter Ginger says at her online MsBelle store, the color reminds you of lilacs. The lovely purple briolette is wrapped in sterling silver wire and swings gracefully from rounded earwires.
- The briolettes in these earrings are approximately 6x10-11mm. Total height of earring is approx. 1 3/8 inches long (around 35mm). All metal is shiny sterling silver. ($25)
- Jewelry maker Ginger (aka Ms. Belle) is a SAHM with a six-year-old son. Her shop on Etsy.com features sterling silver and 14k goldfill jewelry.
- The Sweet On You Earrings are available at Etsy.com --the place to buy and sell all things handmade. I like the Brooklyn-based Etsy because it supports artists by offering the technology to help market their handmade products.
