Oval rose amethyst rings in silver and gold (76MR32-48S).
Since antiquity the amethyst has been one of the most prized and commonly used gemstone in the quartz family for making jewelry and hardstone carvings. The stone has a remarkable ability to split light into a spectrum of colours.
Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder believed quartz to be permanently frozen water, and the same idea is reflected in the word crystal which derives from the Greek word for ‘ice’. Through the ages the gem has been attributed with mystical properties. The Greeks believed amethyst could prevent intoxication. The Chinese prescribed amethyst for stomach pains and bad dreams. And medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets protection in battle – as amethysts were believed to heal people and keep them cool-headed.
Today gemstones jewellery is mostly used as an elegant, eye-catching beauty remedy and a form of personal adornment.
