February’s birthstone amethyst shines in bold hues of violet. 

Ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple, amethyst is the most prized variety of crystalline quartz, adding a pop of colour to any jewellery collection. Its name comes from the Greek ‘amethystos’, meaning ‘not intoxicated’, a nod to the ancient belief that the stone promoted clarity and steadiness of the mind. Today, amethyst remains a symbol of peace, balance, and thoughtful reflection. 

Celebrated as the birthstone for February, amethyst is a cherished stone for those born under Pisces and the traditional gemstone for a sixth anniversary. Discover our complete February Birthstone Collection, featuring vintage, antique, and modern amethyst gemstone jewellery, pairing calming energy with luminous colour.
