About amethyst jewelry
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz. The gemstone develops its unique color by absorbing iron impurities and being exposed to radiation from the surrounding rocks as it forms crystals. Amethyst’s purple hue is ranging from pale lilac to deep violet.
The gemstone has been appreciated for centuries for its captivating color and symbolism. It has long been associated with spiritual and healing properties. In ancient times, amethyst was believed to ward off negative energies. This symbolic significance adds an extra layer of meaning to amethyst featuring pieces.
Amethyst's hardness and durability allow it to be cut into various shapes and sizes. Common cuts include oval, round, pear, and emerald cuts, each accentuating the stone's natural brilliance. Cabochon cuts are also popular for amethyst, especially in vintage designs.
