Item Description

This ring features an eye-catching, bright "Oval" cut Amethyst gem set into an elegant and flowing attractive 10kt Yellow Gold ring. The stone glows with color and even has a bit of a bit of a pink flash when it's rotated in the light. A lovely ring for anybody who likes Amethysts or for somebody with a February birthday. It's also never too early to do some holiday shopping as this would make a great gift. The name "Amethyst" comes from the Greek "a-methystos" meaning "not drunken,". Wine goblets were often carved from it, and the gemstone still symbolizes sobriety to this day. Traditionally, the color purple has been a symbol for royalty and Amethyst was often used for monarchs and leaders throughout history. It was, considered to be the stone of bishops, who still often wear amethyst rings. In Tibet, amethyst is considered to be sacred to Buddha and rosaries are often fashioned from it. Amethyst would be very expensive, were not for its widespread availability, as it is one of the few purple gems out there.
