Celebrating The Amethyst

3 Minute Read

February’s birthstone is the amethyst. The name derives from the Greek amethystos, meaning “a remedy against drunkenness”, a benefit long attributed to the purple birthstone admired by royals since the days of Alexander The Great.

Because of its wine-like colour, early Greek mythology associated the gem with Bacchus, the god of wine. Amethyst lore also includes several claims to mystical powers, including that it would convey strength and wit to those who wore it. If you celebrate a February birthday, wearing an amethyst can be a symbol of personal empowerment and inner strength.

433 round amethysts are set onto our Emotion Rose Gold Amethyst Grand Ring. The Emotion collection, infused with intense colour, explores the intellectual and artistic richness of our world. These bold and daring jewels, pushing the boundaries of design and craftsmanship in true Fabergé spirit.
