As we explored in our January birthday gift guide, giving birthstone jewellery is a custom dating back to the eighteenth century in Europe.
It has long been believed that wearing your birthstone in a piece of jewellery will bring you luck and protection - and each month’s birthstone is thought to hold it’s own unique properties.
As we enter February, the second month of the year the birthstone is amethyst. A pure purple stone, amethyst can be found in a wide range of shades - from the palest lilac to the deepest berry colour.
Amethyst properties and meaning
Amethyst is from the quartz family. Highly prized for both it’s spiritual and healing properties - chief amongst them this includes reducing tension, helping with insomnia, balancing mood swings and helping to promote a sense of calm and peace.
