I love amethyst always. The darker the better. And these earrings are pretty dark. My sister thought they were angels. I would highly recommend these to anybody.
The butterflies are more prominent than expected from photos, because they stick out a bit. Amethyst (in mine) was not as dark as in photo's. Still beautiful though (am literally wearing them right now).
I can't help myself...I keep buying these tower shaped earrings. They are beautiful, the perfect length and feel good in my ears (not too heavy, not too light).
