These vintage earrings are crafted in 18 karat gold and feature faceted oval amethysts in a rich, medium purple hue. The gemstones are bezel-set in smooth, slightly raised oval frames that give the earrings depth. They fasten with curved ear wires and a discreet safety latch at the bottom that locks the wire in place.
On the ear, the earrings sit close to the lobe and reflect light with subtle brilliance. The contrast between the warm gold and the cool violet stone creates a refined, balanced look. Elegant and timeless, they offer a sophisticated presence without being overpowering.

Over generations, the Tillander family has preserved its legacy through continuous family ownership, with each successor upholding the house’s commitment to quality and timeless design. Today, the atelier remains one of Finland’s most prestigious jewelry houses, blending rich heritage with modern refinement.
