Product Description
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 purchased this as a birthday gift,and it looked great.Although it is still an attractiveset,it is much smaller than the way it shows. Maybe should have sold for $25.00.

Everything I expected,

This review is from: Sterling Silver Oval Amethyst Pendant and Earring Set, 18" (Jewelry)
This set is everything I expected...nothing extravagant, though still petite and pretty, especially for a lightning deal! I don't buy much jewelry online but it was on sale and it's my birthstone, so I couldn't resist. It definitely is sterling silver (for it has not turned green, chipped, or infected my ears/colored my neck) I wore the set for many months and am currently just wearing the earrings in the second piercings of each ear, since I tend to change necklaces every so often. I just wanted something simple to be able to wear every day and I got exactly that...I'm happy with my purchase.
