Not content with just royalty and alcohol, it's also one of the gems of the breastplate of the Hebrew High Priest and was placed in the foundation of the New Jerusalem. Celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Zoe Saldana, and Sofia Vergara lay claim to modern royalty status with amethyst jewelry.

What to know about gemstone jewelry:
Gems (yes, even lab created gems!) are individual pieces of nature's art with minor variations in pattern, color, size, and shape. Gem sizes can vary +/- .2mm. Often, large gems are darker than small ones. I do promise you'll be happy with them, and accept exchanges as well as special requests like "Prefer darker green over lighter" which I will do my best to match within my stock. Some gems are fragile and should not go in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.
