February Birthstone Necklaces in Amethyst  

Birthstone Jewelry for February: Natural Amethyst Silver Necklaces

Amethyst gets its purple color from iron impurities and natural irradiation within quartz crystal. The deepest purple specimens, sometimes called "Siberian" amethyst, show red and blue flashes under light. Our February birthstone necklaces feature stones in cuts from faceted ovals to raw crystal points, all secured in silver bezels or prong settings. The name amethyst comes from the Greek "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated." Ancient Greeks believed the stone prevented drunkenness and carved drinking vessels from it. Today, amethyst remains the traditional gift for February birthdays and sixth wedding anniversaries. As the most valued member of the quartz family, it offers the look of rare purple sapphire at a fraction of the cost.
