Introduction to Amethyst Necklaces
Behind the beautiful amethyst gemstone lies a rich history, filled with stories and legends that date back to ancient times. Amethyst is associated with St. Valentine, as it is said that the patron saint wore an amethyst ring carved with the image of Cupid, making this stone the official February birthstone. However, amethyst is also associated with piety and celibacy, leading bishops, cardinals, and priests to use it on their rings. Amethyst is also mentioned in the Old Testament, being one of the twelve gemstones adorning the breastplate of the high priest Aaron and representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name “Amethyst” comes from the Greek word ‘Amethustos,’ meaning “not to intoxicate”. In ancient times, lords who wanted to stay sober during feasts drank water from amethyst-made goblets, leading guests to believe they were drinking wine. The amethyst is also the official stone of Wednesday and the 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries. Amethysts form over millions of years when iron impurities make their way into silicon-rich solutions during the formation of quartz. The color of an amethyst stone can vary in tones and hues. The most desired tones are deep purple with blue tones and a reddish purple color called “raspberry.” Amethysts can occur in light, from slightly lavender and pinkish colors to deep purples, with blues and reds reflecting from different angles when the light hits. In modern days, amethysts are often used in jewelry as birthstones but are also loved for their rich color, symbolic meaning, and benefits.

Things to Know Before Buying an Amethyst Necklace
Understanding the four Cs of the amethyst stone is crucial to making an informed decision before choosing your necklaces. The most important factor is the color; amethysts with deep reddish to purple colors are the most valuable. The stone can decrease in value if it contains bronze tints. As for clarity, look for stones that are free from visible inclusions; these kinds of gemstones are often mined from Brazil and are known to be “eye-clean.” Amethyst can be cut in many different shapes, from oval and triangle to cushion and emerald cuts, but it can also be used in a freeform shape for a beautiful boho look. An amethyst carat weight does not affect its price significantly, making it perfect for statement pieces. At Gabriel & Co., we exclusively use natural, high-quality, and ethically sourced stones.
