Amethyst Ring / Sterling Silver and Cabochon Amethyst Ring

Amethyst has been a prized gem for centuries. It is the birthstone for Pisces and the month of February, and the gemstone for the 6th anniversary of marriage.

According to Greek mythology, Amethyst was a young virgin who became the object of wrath of the Greek God Dionysus after he became intoxicated with red wine. When Amethyst cried out to Goddess Diana for help, she immediately turned the girl into a white, shimmering stone (quartz). When Dionysus realized what had happened and felt remorse for his actions, his tears dripped into his goblet of red wine. The goblet overturned, and the red wine spilled all over the white rock, saturating it until it became the purple quartz that is now known as Amethyst.

Historically, the stone was believed to assist prophecy and visions and to bring riches and powers to its owners.

This ring will make you feel like a million dollars. A bright purple amethyst has been set in sterling silver and has wonderful romantic scrolls to decorate the top of the ring.

The ring is not hallmarked, but tests as silver.

The ring is currently a size 6.75 US
