AMETHYST

The essence of the colour purple, Amethyst is beautiful enough for crown jewels yet affordable enough to be used in everyday jewellery use.

Amethyst was as expensive as ruby and emerald until the 19th Century, when Brazil’s large deposits were discovered.

Today, as the most valued quartz variety, Amethyst is in demand for designer pieces and mass-market jewellery alike, and its purple to pastel hues retain wide consumer appeal.

Amethyst is the Birthstone for the month of February
