february birthstone jewellery - amethyst

If you were born in February, your birthstone is the Amethyst stone. Amethysts are beautiful purple quartz stones that can be created in labs as well as mined naturally. The deep shade of lilac present in Amethysts makes them a popular stone in rings and other jewellery as well as gemstone collections around the world. Because of their deep purple colour, Amethysts were associated with Bacchus, the Ancient Greek God of Wine, which makes them a fitting gift for people who enjoy a glass or two of red every now and again. They’re also traditionally associated with sixth wedding anniversaries and have been popular with royal figures throughout history including Catherine the Great. At Abelini, we stock a wide range of Amethyst jewellery including Amethyst rings, necklaces and earrings. We also stock both traditional purple and pink Amethyst items. Wearing your birthstone in an item of jewellery is both a nod to your own personal history as well as a symbol of empowerment.
