For those lucky enough to be born in the month of love, February’s amethyst jewellery birthstone is a durable and versatile gemstone beloved by fine jewellers – which means there are plenty of options when it comes to gifting (or treating yourself).
Taking its name from the Ancient Greek word methustos, which translates as ‘intoxicated’, amethyst jewels supposedly protect the wearer from drunkenness and, in turn, make them savvier when it comes to business. And, while we wouldn’t recommend making them key to your five-year plan, amethysts, which come in a spectrum of colours from light green to vivid purple, do make gorgeous additions to any jewellery box. Here’s our guide to the best amethyst jewellery to gift for February birthdays.
Kiki McDonough Amethyst and Diamond Pendant
British fine jewellery brand Kiki McDonough is renowned for the care and attention it lavishes on its stones, with as much love given to a semi-precious gem as to a flawless diamond. This elegant 18ct yellow gold necklace combines the two, featuring a deep purple amethyst surrounded by two diamond-set loops. A piece to be cherished for decades to come.
