The combination of Celtic knotwork with a coloured stone is one of the most established compositional approaches in Scotland's silver jewellery tradition, the geometric interlace providing structured surface interest while the stone anchors the piece with a focused point of colour. The use of a square-cut stone within a clean rectangular bezel gives this design a more formal, architectural quality than round or pear-cut alternatives, the right-angled geometry of the setting complementing the structured, grid-like character of the knotwork above. The deep violet of the amethyst connects the piece to the colour associations long established in Scottish decorative silverwork.
Each earring is composed of two distinct sections. The upper portion presents a rectangular panel of open Celtic plaitwork knotwork, its interlaced strands forming a continuous basketweave pattern across the full width of the earring, the negative spaces between the strands clearly defined. Below, a smooth rectangular bezel frame holds a square-cut amethyst, its deep purple faceted surface providing a rich and cleanly contained focal point at the base. The transition between the open knotwork above and the solid bezel below gives each earring a strong two-part compositional structure. The silver throughout carries a high mirror polish. Push back fitting.
Approximately 2.8g per pair. 925 sterling silver with square-cut amethyst in bezel setting. Push back fitting.
