Amethyst Jewelry: February's Birthstone of Serenity and Inspiration

There's something very special about amethyst. It's more than just an incredible sparkle. When you first catch a glimpse of those lush lavender and violet hues, it's almost like a calming wave is washing over you. A peaceful and meditative vibe seems to project from this revered purple gemstone and there is probably a very good reason. Want to guess why?

Qualities of the Amethyst Gemstone

Often showcased in gemstone jewelry like the exclusive designs found at The Bradford Exchange, amethyst is a typically purple or lavender colored quartz. In fact, it is no doubt the world's most popular purple gem. Its unique shade is due to naturally occurring iron impurities found in the stone's crystal quartz structure. Isn't it amazing that impurities can generate such beauty!

Derived from the Greek word amethystos, which literally translates to "not drunken," the allure of the amethyst has held different meanings for different cultures around the world and through time. Case in point, the ancient Greeks believed it could prevent intoxication while medieval European soldiers used it as a stone of protection in battle. And in ancient China, it was used to ward off negative energy. Though all of these are different, the unifying quality of the amethyst was its perceived power.

Amethyst Symbolism: What Does It Represent?

Amethyst jewelry is worn by many today simply because of its innate beauty. But February's gemstone has very specific symbolism associated with it too, making it even more compelling and attractive.
