About Amethyst — The February Birthstone
Amethyst is a variety of quartz — the same mineral family as citrine and rose quartz — coloured violet to purple by iron and irradiation within the crystal. Its colour ranges from pale lavender to deep grape, with the most prized stones being a vivid medium-deep purple. At Mohs 7, amethyst is a durable stone well-suited to everyday jewellery.
Historically, amethyst was considered as precious as ruby, sapphire, and emerald before large deposits were discovered in Brazil and Uruguay in the 19th century. The word amethyst comes from the Greek amethystos — “not intoxicated” — reflecting the ancient belief that the stone protected against excess. It has been associated with peace, clarity, and wisdom across cultures, and is the stone most often used in bishop’s rings in the Catholic Church.

Why Amethyst and Silver Work Together
The cool tone of rhodium-polished silver enhances the violet in amethyst, making the colour richer and more vivid than it would in yellow gold. Purple and silver is one of the most complementary combinations in jewellery.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Collection
Q: What types of February birthstone jewellery are available?
A: Rings (trio, open wrap, bold band, solitaire, oval, octagon, baguette), earrings (heart danglers), necklaces and pendants (bolo necklace, hamsa pendant, solitaire). 66 active designs in genuine 925 sterling silver with certified natural amethyst. From ₹1,949.
Q: Can I wear amethyst jewellery even if I wasn’t born in February?
A: Absolutely. Many people choose amethyst for its stunning purple colour, its symbolism of calm and clarity, or simply because purple is their preferred colour. Birthstone jewellery doesn’t require a birth month to be meaningful — if the stone resonates, the piece works.
Q: Why choose February birthstone jewellery?
A: Because it combines a specific, personal meaning (the recipient’s birth month) with a genuinely beautiful natural gemstone. A piece in someone’s birthstone communicates that the gift was chosen for them specifically — not selected generically. Amethyst also happens to be one of the most versatile coloured gemstones in jewellery — its violet-purple tone works across skin tones, outfit colours, and occasions.
