Collection: Amethyst
Amethyst, a violet variety of quartz, is one of the most beloved and popular gemstones throughout history. Its name is derived from the Greek word "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated," reflecting the ancient belief that Amethyst could protect against the effects of drunkenness. Found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia, Amethyst's stunning purple hues range from pale lavender to deep violet, captivating the hearts of gemstone enthusiasts and jewellery designers alike.
Known for its regal and calming colour, Amethyst has long been associated with spiritual and metaphysical properties.
