The story of Amethyst jewellery is an ancient one. Coveted amongst by the ancient Greeks. It's colour and meaning connected to grapes, and Baccus the God of wine. Interestingly it was thought by wearing the stone one would maintain a clear head. It was once the most valued gem of all and worn only by royalty and spiritual leaders. Because of availability, Amethyst laden jewels are now accessible to the gentry-and available online! Our Amethyst jewellery includes gems from the Brejinho Mine, in the Espinhaso Mountains, Bahia, Brazil. Gemstones that come from this mine vary from light to a very deep hue. We prize our Bolivian gems from the Anahi Mine, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Close to the Brazil-Bolivia border. When these gems are set in jewellery, they display a stunning beauty and exceptional clarity. We are proud to feature the rare and precious gems from Uruguay, which boast a deep gorgeous purple. All of these precious jewels are featured in our Amethyst jewellery online.
