February marks a time of year when winter is in full swing and a lot of people have the winter blues. Even warmer-climate regions of the country have had (relatively) cold nights and mornings.
In the jewelry industry, we believe that jewelry can be medicinal in nature. Just when we need it most, in comes amethyst, full of optimism and bringing joy and brightness.
