What is Amethyst?

In the simplest words, Amethyst is a purple-colored quartz. It belongs to the semi-precious family of gemstones and is the proud birthstone of February. The violet hue it brims in is a royal sight to witness (and also speaks volumes of the kind of appeal this February Birthstone Ring fetches). Precisely, it ranges from a light lilac color to more intense shades of purple.

But we’d refer to it as a beautiful gemstone inside out. The kind of symbolism it has to offer is the sole reason for that. Keep reading and you’ll find it hard to disagree:

What does an Amethyst Ring Symbolize?

True to its surreal purple hue, Amethyst is believed to epitomize the purity of spirit and serenity. In a broader context, these Purple Stone Rings represent understanding, wisdom, trust, and creativity. But the most significant symbolism that not only makes Amethyst so miraculous but also rewards it with its beautiful name remains its associations with sobriety. Amethyst derives its name from the Greek word ‘Amethystos,’ which means ‘not intoxicated.’ These associations stem from fascinating folklore, which is a tale to be saved for some other day. In case you’re wondering “What are the benefits of wearing an Amethyst Ring?” let us shed some light on that:

Similar to its serene hue, it protects the wearer against anger, fear, anxiety, and negative thoughts. Apart from that, it is considered a wonderfully spiritual stone. That’s because it enhances intuitive abilities, helps the wearer connect to higher realms of consciousness, and is widely used for meditative purposes. Not just that, it is astrologically believed to keep evil energies from entering your aura. In terms of physical healing, it carries ties with the ‘Crown Chakra.’ Thanks to that, it helps fight insomnia and migraine and helps strengthen the overall immune system. Not to forget- it also works as a protective stone for love and relationships, which fuels the popularity of Amethyst Engagement Rings in an astrological sense.

By now, we bet you’d have gotten all the more excited to buy Amethyst Ring online. We will not keep you waiting. Hop on to find your favorite among the fusion of classic, vintage, and contemporary rings in our catalog!
