Amanda’s Style File: Purple and Playful
Amanda Gizzi welcomes February with a selection of amethyst jewelry, a birthstone that “deserves its own time to shine.”
“Regal” and “royal” are two of the words that might come to mind when thinking of the rich purple hue of February’s birthstone, amethyst. Pictured here is an 18-karat rose gold bypass ring from Assael featuring an amethyst and a natural color cultured Tahitian pearl ($14,800).
February’s arrival brings amethyst into the spotlight, and the spotlight is the perfect place for this gorgeous gemstone that deserves its own time to shine.
“Regal” and “royal” are defining words for the richness of amethyst’s hue.
The bold color paired with the affordability of the stone makes amethyst a go-to gemstone for designers to play with larger carat weights and interesting cuts.
Even small amethysts have a big impact and look beautiful in everyday jewelry, as they can be playful and cheerful.
As we welcome the new month, we welcome these beautiful pieces of jewelry and find jewelry wish lists continuing to grow.
