I have always loved the purple hue of amethyst, but when I discovered that it also came in green I was mesmerized by that shade as well!
As well as coming in beautiful hues of purple or green amethyst is also the birthstone for February and is said to come from the Ancient Greek words for not intoxicated – this is to do with the belief that Amethyst could stop the wearer of it from becoming drunk, but I wonder if the translation got skewed over time and it actually means an intoxicating gem, because let’s face it Amethyst is pretty special!
In a hurry? Jump straight to the amethyst jewelry you want…
Amethyst was a prized gem for centuries and adorned royalty through the ages. Purple was really seen as a powerful, regal color and amethyst reflected this beautifully. In more recent times more amethyst depostits have been found which has led to the gem being more easily accessible to everyone. This is why anyone can now own their own piece of amethyst jewelry.
Hearts are a classic pendant so combining amethyst and a heart shape makes perfect sense for birthdays, anniversaries even Valentines Day – who wouldn’t love one of these beautiful pieces of jewelry from someone they care for

Amethyst really is a beautiful gemstone! This is a lovely collection of Amethyst jewelry. I love the heart drop earrings that you have featured.
Thank you Cynthia, I’m hard pressed to think of a gemstone I don’t like, but amethysts are definitely one of my favorites. I think if I had to choose just one piece of jewelry here I would go with the triple heart pendant.
Amethysts really are gorgeous. And the purple goes along so well with the Pantone Color of the Year for 2018 being Ultra Violet and/or shades of purple. 🙂 Very pretty.
Thanks Elf, yes it certainly does seem as though it’s amethyst’s year this year doesn’t it? 🙂
