How To Get A Fresh New Amethyst Birthstone Jewelry Look

Scallop carved Amethyst gemstone and diamond ring

If you were born in February, here are 7  new looks of amethyst that will quickly upgrade your birthstone jewelry style:

 

1.    Wear larger stones, 20 plus carats or more,  in rings and pendants for  the bold  look of statement jewelry.

 

2.    Look for checkerboard or other unusually cut gemstones with more intense sparkle and color.

  

3.    Seek Amethyst gems from a different country like Tanzania or Uruguay for  more vivid gemstone colors.

 

4.    Try jewelry set with Drusy, crystalline geode pieces of Amethyst.

  

5.    Examine   Amethyst gems labeled “color-change” to see if you detect a true color shift.

 

6.    Shop for vintage and antique  jewelry pieces, many often contain extraordinary specimens of Amethyst gems.

  

7.    Have some fun with Amethyst carving of  whimsical objects like insects, flowers and leaves!

Amethyst birthstone jewelry doesn’t have to be boring and ubiquitous. 

The above  jewelry styles are  ways to make your February birthstone jewelry look fresh, hot and eye-catching.

LIVING LARGE WITH AMETHYST, FEBRUARY'S BIRTHSTONE




Massive Amethyst Geode Slabs

 



I recently caught a bad case of culture shock. I saw a purple amethyst gemstone countertop along with matching gemstone faucet handles on an HGTV show about luxury bathrooms.

The polished amethyst's highly saturated purple color, with a little lavender, bespoke extreme femininity. This was not your ordinary quartz countertop.

According to Countertopguides.com, all quartz colors including beige and rose quartz can be used for countertop materials.  If cost is a concern, the quartz can be ground-up and set in resin instead of using polished slabs.

I will never look at February's birthstone  the same way again:  Cut and polished quartz material from amethyst geodes is not just for setting into rings or other jewelry.
