In the classic Aesop's fable, a hungry fox stumbles on a fat bunch of grapes. Each piece of purple fruit is sun-ripened and near bursting with sweetness. But the prize hangs just beyond his reach. He gives up, saying, "They're probably sour anyway." The moral: It is easy to despise what you cannot get. Thankfully, securing these purple beauties couldn't be simpler. Each earring is a cluster of polished amethyst stones that dangles like a luscious bouquet of the fabled fruit. Each naturally-shaped purple stone hangs freely from a center "vine" of linked circles to allow for maximum brilliance and bounce. The earrings drop approximately 1-1/2" from gold-fused French hooks.
