Amethyst-February's Birthstone

Amethyst is the highest valued gemstone of the quartz family.

The name comes from Greek ‘amethystos’ or not intoxicated. According to Greek myth Bacchus, god of wine poured wine over clear crystal, giving it its purple colour. This connection led to the belief that drinking wine from an amethyst cup would prevent drunkenness. We can't vouch for this but I can promise Amethyst is always one of our most popular stones, it suits just about everyone, here are some of our favourite pieces:

Have a look at the selection of Amethysts available online. The rich, deep violet colour has made amethyst a stone for royalty over thousands of years. Fine amethysts are in the British Crown Jewels.

Did you Know?

St. Valentine wore an amethyst signet ring engraved with the figure of cupid.

Valentine’s Day is still observed in February and aptly amethyst is the birthstone. Amethyst symbolises sincerity and is reported to soothe and calm, absorbing negativity.

Amethyst is also the stone for the zodiac sign, Pisces, for birthdays from 19^th February until March 20^th.
