Amethyst Necklace

Amethyst Necklace tips and guide

The amethyst necklace is a rather popular and elegant piece of jewelry. A wonderful violet hue set in a silver pendant can grab the attention of almost anyone. Amethyst has been used for centuries as one of the world's favorite precious gems.

Amethyst has been found to be used as far back as the ancient Egyptians. They would primarily do as the Greeks had done, engraving things such as portraits into them. Throughout the ages, the precious gem was used for a variety of reasons but usually as some sort of jewelry. It is a gem that symbolizes healing and staying calm under stress

Many women desire to possess an amethyst necklace in their jewelry collection. The amethyst gemstone is viewed by most as an essential staple that compliments nearly any outfit. As a necklace, the amethyst is brought out even more when combined with pearls, beads, or silver for example. When made as an amethyst pendant necklace, the bright gemstone colors are said to bring out a woman's natural beauty.

When choosing an amethyst necklace, there are a variety of factors to consider. Firstly, and most important is deciding on how much you are willing to spend, because necklaces accented with diamonds will obviously cost much more than and amethyst beaded necklace. The second most important factor is the length of the necklace. Princess length necklaces are typically perfect for a lady with a lovely long neck because it will accentuate it, however a collar necklace is always a safe choice because it can be worn by any lady with any dress and on any occasion.

The stones for these necklaces may be cut in squares, pear shapes, hearts, ovals, or any other shape you may want. Their popularity has resulted in a large selection of green amethyst necklaces for you to choose from.

Green amethyst rings have also proved popular and come in as many sizes, shapes, and metals as do the necklaces. You can have simple posts with a small stone, large dangle earrings, and everything in between including tiny heart shaped ones surrounded by diamonds. The perfect gift for that special woman.

Probably the most popular use of this stone is in rings. These stones are featured in every style of ring from classic design to new and innovative jewelry designs. They stand out beautifully in either white gold or yellow gold and a pink gold ring gives this semi precious gem a special glow. Surprisingly this stone is becoming increasingly popular as the main stone in engagement rings either surrounded by tiny diamonds or emeralds.
