Seductive and uniquely hued, amethyst has been deemed the “gemstone of all gemstones.” In fact, this purple stone is believed to protect its wearer from ill-intended amorous advances. The rich violet shading of the amethyst, a member of the quartz family, gives it a royal princess quality.
Perhaps that’s why the Russian Empress Catherine the Great ordered thousands of miners into the Ural Mountains to seek out the gemstone. The word amethyst comes from the Greek word “amethystos,” meaning “not intoxicated.” For that reason, it is believed to protect against drunkenness.
These Gold & Amethyst earrings measure approximately 2.4 inches.

All gemstone jewelry, including amethysts, should be wiped clean with a soft cloth to avoid scratching its surface. Wash the stones with warm soapy water, gently brush them with a toothbrush and then wipe them dry.
Avoid vigorous polishing of your gold-filled jewelry so as not to destroy the gold coating, and never expose it to moisture. Keeping it in a zip-lock bag will prevent moisture and humidity from attacking it.
