Gold Amethyst Jewelry

Choose the Perfect Gift for a Loved One With Gold Amethyst

There is a reason that gold jewelry never goes out of style. It creates a striking combination with most stones but is especially beautiful with one of the world's most favored gemstones, amethyst. The rich violet color of amethyst coupled with a complimentary gold color turns a simple ring, bracelet, earring, or pendant design into something truly luxurious.

Meaning of Amethyst

Amethyst has been used as a healing talisman and sacred stone for centuries by those of faith. Russian Empress Catherine the Great sent miners searching for amethyst for decades because of its royal associations and rarity. While amethyst is much more common now, it still carries a sense of royalty to those who wear it.

Amethyst is also representative of the crown chakra, which is emblematic of a clear mind and acumen. The ancient Greeks believed it could promote a sober intelect. When wearing amethyst, it is believed that divine wisdom is present. In modern times, amethyst is also represented as February's birthstone.

Why Choose Gold For Amethyst Jewelry

Gold is a complementary color to different shades of purple, which is why it is such a popular setting for amethyst jewelry. Gold is an often-used setting for wine and ruby shades of amethyst as it brings out the warmth of these shades. However, gold is also popular for cooler shades of amethyst, such as grape and violet hues.

Gold is also a durable and valuable setting for all types of jewelry. Choosing between white or yellow gold or sterling silver is a personal choice; however, if you have a majority of gold jewelry, you will likely want your amethyst pieces to match.
