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.

I picked these up at Amazons Stocking stuffer price, and didn't expect too much. But, these are beautiful. The earrings aren't as small as others have mentioned, they are the full 6mm size in the description. Pretty hefty for a stud size. The necklace, also 6mm, does feel a little small on the expanse of skin in that area, but it's a classic solitaire size, so that's to be expected.
The color is a rich purple hue, not pale, not dark, exactly the shade I typically expect when I see amethysts. High quality, even better price.

I thought that these were nice. No- they were not pricey, but the gems that I received were a beautiful color. While they are simple in design, I felt they were well worth the price- if you know your jewelry. I did buy them for my niece, a teenage girl, whose birthstone is an amethyst. I do own an Amethyst in my own collection, and I thought these were just as good quality as what I have. I've been very happy with what I've ordered from Amazon so far!

At $19.99 a person can hardly go wrong. But you must know what to expect for your money. A cute set with nice purple stones, the pendant's stone is really only large enough for a child. I did what I always do with sets that are a good value - I divide them up if necessary. I will keep the pretty stud earrings for myself - I'm sure they would normally retail for $19.99.
I will put the pendant stone on a shorter chain and save it for one of the little girls in the family. So, two people will be happy! Gee, maybe this should be getting 4 stars! But for those ladies who were hoping for a larger pendant stone to wear, I'll just have to issue this little warning: The pendant isn't really grown-up size.

Nice setting, beautiful detail, some inclusions
Perfect color, deep stone, and solid setting. The main stone in the necklace has a pretty good inclusion but you can't make it from afar.

Good buy for the price
The amethysts are good quality, especially when the price is factored in... I bought the set as a birthday gift for a 17-year-old, and she loved it.
