February - amethyst

Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm, clarity, and protection. Its rich purple color has also made it a favorite in jewelry for centuries.

Yes. Amethyst is the birthstone for February, making it a meaningful choice for a February birthday. Of course, you don’t need a February birthday to wear it. If purple is your color, that’s reason enough.

Amethyst comes in such a beautiful range of purple, from light lavender to deep violet. That natural variation means there’s an amethyst for just about every preference, and we especially love how the color looks set in solid gold.

Amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, so it can be a great choice for jewelry you wear often. Like any natural gemstone, it should still be treated with care, especially in rings that tend to see more bumps and contact throughout the day.

Amethyst ranges from pale lilac and lavender to rich violet and deep purple. Because it’s a natural gemstone, color can vary from stone to stone, giving each one a little character of its own.

Clean your amethyst jewelry gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight, and store it carefully when you’re not wearing it to help protect the stone.

Yes. Purple amethyst looks especially beautiful against the warmth of yellow gold, which is why you’ll find the combination throughout our collection. It can also be worn alongside other gemstones if you love a little more color.

Yes, with a little care. Amethyst ranks 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for rings, but it isn’t as hard as a diamond or sapphire. We recommend taking your ring off for workouts, cleaning, or anything else that could knock or scratch the stone.

Amethyst is an easy choice for February birthdays, but it can also make a meaningful gift for anniversaries, milestones, or simply because someone loves purple. And if you’re shopping for yourself, no occasion necessary.

Think about how you like to wear color. An amethyst ring puts the stone front and center, while a necklace, charm, or pair of earrings can add a smaller touch of purple. From there, choose the shade of amethyst you’re most drawn to, whether that’s a lighter lavender or a deeper violet.
