February Birthstone Jewellery - Amethyst

February Birthstone Jewellery - Amethyst

February’s birthstone is the luscious, sensual and instantly recognisable amethyst.

Once considered as precious as ruby, amethyst is still highly prized and much loved for its exquisite colouring, which can range from pink through to the deepest purple.
The ancient Greeks called this variety of quartz ‘amethyein’ – meaning ‘not drunk’ - as they believed the gemstone could prevent people from succumbing to the effects of alcohol.

It’s not for us to say whether our amethyst birthstone jewellery has similar properties, but we certainly hope it’ll make you feel merry. Celebrate your birthday responsibly!
