Amethyst Disc Earrings

An amethyst set on a silver disc, joined to a larger silver ring carrying two smaller rings, gives these earrings a layered geometry built from circles. They are recorded in Phyllis M. Goddard's Spratling Silver field guide.

The stacking of disc and rings around a single purple stone is the kind of geometric composition Spratling favored, using the amethyst as the focal point against the polished silver. The graduated rings give each earring a sense of depth and movement.

Documented earrings combining silver geometry with semi-precious stone are collected as examples of Spratling's jewelry, and a ring-and-disc design of this kind comes to market only occasionally.
