Facts about Amethyst

Explore fascinating facts about amethyst’s history, meaning, and unique characteristics that make it a standout in fine jewelry.

A Gemstone with History

From ancient Greece to the courts of royalty, amethyst has been adored for centuries. Legends say it was once prized as highly as diamonds, valued not only for its beauty but for its reputed power to protect against negativity and enhance the mind. Over time, it’s become a symbol of purity, spirituality, and deep tranquility.

Choosing the Right Setting for Your Amethyst

For optimal durability and beauty, choose prong, bezel, or a halo setting to protect your amethyst while enhancing its natural brilliance. Amethysts are ideal for earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, where they’re less exposed to everyday wear. If worn in a ring, avoid heavy impact to preserve the stone’s clarity and edges. Amethyst offers a versatile and meaningful touch to any jewelry collection.

Is Amethyst Your Birthstone?

Amethyst, the birthstone for February, is a perfect match for the deep-thinking, intuitive spirit of Aquarius. Known for its calming and clarifying energy, it complements your natural curiosity and supports your journey toward self-understanding. It’s also the gemstone for the 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries, making it a symbol of both personal reflection and enduring connection.
