February Birthstone

February’s birthstone is amethyst. Amethyst is a member of the quartz family of gems, and can range from the pale lilac “Rose de France” to the deep, vibrant violet with red flashes displayed by the “Russian” variety, with green and orange types not unknown. High-ranking members of the Roman Catholic Church often wear amethyst rings, because amethyst, in addition to being beautiful, has traditionally been associated with heavenly understanding. Show your February favorite you care with a piece of lovely amethyst, such as this lovely drop necklace. White gold and diamond accents bring out the delicate lavender of a briolette cut amethyst in this stunningly elegant piece. Wow your February birthday (or bishop!) with it for only $175.
