Think of Elizabeth Taylor, and you will remember the colour of her eyes. That violet and its myriad shades are what we are talking about. Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used in jewellery. The name comes from the Ancient Greek ἀμέθυστος (améthystos), which means “not drunken”, a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. Amethyst is a semiprecious stone and is the traditional birthstone for February, and is associated with Pisces.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz and is the most prized gem in the quartz family. It ranges in colour from pale lilac to deep purple and can be found in all parts of the world. Moreover, amethyst has been used throughout history for its purported healing and protective properties. It is said to promote peace, courage, and stability and is thought to be helpful in overcoming addictions. It is also believed to enhance your intuitive skills. It is also most often used in healing during crystal therapy and other alternative healing.
Whether you are looking for a piece of jewellery to wear every day or something special for a special occasion, amethyst jewellery is a beautiful and unique choice. Amethysts can shine in singular splendour and appear equally brilliant in a cluster surrounded by diamonds.
Amethyst is a beautiful purple gemstone that has been used in jewellery for centuries. Today, there are many different types of amethyst jewellery available, from simple pieces to more dramatic statement pieces. Here are a few different types of amethyst jewellery to consider:
Amethyst Rings:
Amethyst rings are a classic choice for amethyst jewellery. They are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re looking for an everyday ring or something more unique. The Classic Lilac Gemstone Ring is an excellent example of an Amethyst ring with a few diamonds. The deeper colour in the Plum Glow Diamond Ring is a unique design and can go with casual and formal outfits and for everyday wear and special occasions.
Amethyst Earrings:
Amethyst earrings are another popular option for amethyst jewellery. They come in a variety of styles, from stud earrings to dangly earrings, so you can find a pair that suits your taste. Take a look at the Kashvi Leaf Gemstone Drop Earrings with the yellow gold highlighting the amethyst on top. There’s nothing like the Sleek Tulip Gemstone Drop Earrings if you go for danglers. They give a more festive look and make a good choice as party wear.
Amethyst Bracelets:
Amethyst bracelets are a great way to add a touch of colour to your outfit. They can be simple or more elaborate, depending on your preference. They can also come personalised with your Zodiac sign and as a birthstone. The Mystical Pisces Zodiac Gemstone Bracelet has both and never needs to leave your wrist. A simpler and more affordable one is the Intertwined Knot Gemstone Bracelet.
Amethyst Necklaces:
Amethyst necklaces are a stunning option for amethyst jewellery. They can be worn alone or layered with other necklaces for a more dramatic look. The Glide Dragonfly Gemstone Necklace is delicate and will go well when worn with a longer necklace. For a more elaborate piece, wear the Twine Lariat Gemstone Necklace in white gold and with diamonds.
Amethyst Pendants:
Amethyst pendants are easier to collect, and you only need a single chain. You can change pendants whenever the mood takes you and based on where you are going. Imagine an amethyst pendant that is also heart-shaped, lending a little romance to the jewellery, like the Mila Heart Gemstone Pendant. It can be a show-stopper at any event. The Glitter Butterfly Gemsto
ne Pendant can also be a great addition to your pendant collection.
Whether you’re looking for a simple piece of amethyst jewellery or something more of a statement, there are plenty of options to choose from. There are also so many shades of violet, from the palest of lilac to the deepest purple. Any shade can be very becoming in jewellery. Another remarkable aspect of the gemstone is that it doesn’t clash with any colour of your outfit. It can be as subtle as you want or more glamorous to suit special occasions.
Loving the colour violet is reason enough to shop for amethyst jewellery. Gold – rose, yellow, or white, and silver or platinum are all metals that set off amethysts just as they deserve. With so many types of amethyst jewellery available, you’re sure to find something that will catch your eye and can’t do without. What’s more, you can find any design of amethyst jewellery at CaratLane.
