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.

I bought this at the same time as another necklace so I could compare the two for a particular outfit I would be wearing to an event. I went with the other necklace for the event, but have used this pendant often as well. It's very versatile. Definitely check the dimensions before ordering. I looked at them, but still thought it would be bigger than what it turned out to be. Unless you like the sort of chain it comes with, be ready to shop for a more suitable chain for the pendant.

It's small, but I believe that it part of its charm. The necklace is very dainty. It's a perfect gift for anyone who likes smaller jewelry.

I bought this as a gift for my cousin and she loved it! The pendant is quite classy but can also be worn with jeans and a nice top. The size is great -- about as large as the pad of my thumb. Hangs nicely and compliments my cousin's fair complexion. As a bonus, amethyst is her birthstone (February). I definitely recommend this item!
