Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This elegant three-stone ring features a trio of oval amethyst stones, prong-set in polished 10 karat yellow gold. The faceted stones have a deep purple color and are accented on both sides by petite white diamonds. A graceful open trellis design below adds a note of elegance and elevates the stones above the band so that light can filter through them, enhancing their sparkle. The polished yellow gold band has squared edges and a tapered thickness in back for comfort. February's birthstone is known as a stone of tranquility and has been treasured by royalty throughout the ages for its regal purple hue; in fact, rare amethysts are among the stones that decorate the British Crown Jewels. This ring is also available with birthstones for January, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December.

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 Birthstones

Chances 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.

This review is from: 10k Yellow Gold June Birthstone 3-Stone Created Pink Sapphire with Diamond-Accent Ring, Size 7 (Jewelry)

The rings in this style that I have purchased have been nothing but wonderful. The style is simple and tasteful, the stones of very good quality, and the 10K gold setting weighty and strong. I was worried, however, when a "lab created" stone became available on sale, as I have never purchased one. When I saw the picture of this ring's bright pink stones, I took a leap of faith. I was delighted! The ring is so bright and sparkly with it's deep magenta/pink stones. Just the right amount of color (I believe that too much of this stone's brightness would be overkill.) I would definitely recommend this ring for it's "spice" factor.

This review is from: 10k Yellow Gold August Birthstone 3-Stone Peridot with Diamond-Accent Ring, Size 7 (Jewelry)

I got this ring to go with a pair of peridot earrings from the amazon collection and was very pleased. The diamonds are VERY small but the ring as a whole is really pretty. The pictures are not deceiving in anyway so you will not be disappointed with this purchase.

This review is from: 10k Yellow Gold August Birthstone 3-Stone Peridot with Diamond-Accent Ring, Size 7 (Jewelry)

At the risk of sounding neurotic, I will share with you that I love the styling of this ring so much that, whenever they come on sale, I raid my retirement piggy-bank, and pounce on one! So far I have five, with one on the way! They are great everyday rings at the sale price. This ring can be worn alone or even combined with a simple band. In this particular ring, the peridot stones were clear, well-faceted, and a lovely shade of light green. The tiny accent diamonds at the sides did exactly what they were supposed to do - add sparkle! The 10K gold setting has ample weight and seems to hold the stones securely. Don't tell Amazon Jewelry, but I would have paid full price!
