Amethyst Studs

Description

AAA grade natural 4mm amethyst cabochons hand set in a serrated sterling silver bezel. Amethyst is one of the most popular stones and most valuable form of quartz used in jewelry. The color of natural amethyst is caused by iron or manganese compound impurities in the mineral. Amethyst is February’s birthstone as well as the gem traditionally given for the sixth wedding anniversary. The name “amethyst” derives from the Greek amethystos, which means “a remedy against drunkenness,” a benefit long ascribed to the purple birthstone. Amethyst was also believed to keep the wearer clear headed and quick witted in battle and business affairs. Renaissance Europeans thought it calmed lovers overrun by passion.
