About Birthstone Jewelry
February Birthstone: Amethyst
Because of its regal purple hue, amethyst has long been a favorite of kings, queens, and other nobles. While it signifies wealth and strength, amethyst is also a symbol of soberness, tranquility, and wisdom.
History of BirthstonesChances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to calendar months.
There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.
The Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore, or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.

Beautiful, BUT...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 14k Yellow Gold Amethyst Necklace, 16" (Jewelry)
Two complaints:
The necklace was an absolute tangled mess when it arrived. It took me quite a while to carefully untangle it without breaking the delicate chain. On one of the "drops," the number of links to the larger stone were reduced and the smaller gem was missing. It had obviously never been attached. I'm returning the necklace for a full refund. (Amazon will not allow for an exchange on this item). I will order the necklace again, BUT if there are missing stones I suggest Amazon reconsider doing business with these folks. It is absurd to pay this price and have a blatant defect like this. My wife's 50th birthday is in two days. I've explained to her that her gift was sent back because it was defective and that it will be two to four weeks for the reordered gift to arrive. I'm so very thankful that I'm married to a gracious and loving woman. ___________________________________________ Update: I tried again. The second necklace came with a different shipping configuration, which seemed to nicely resolve the issue of the necklace being all tangled up. THIS necklace was perfect. Sheesh. I had no idea my original review would knock ~[...] off the price I paid for this item.
