FAQs

Amethyst has been prized in fine jewellery for millennia, frequently featured in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman adornments before becoming a staple in Victorian and Edwardian fine pieces.

Traditional construction typically involves precious metals such as yellow gold, shaped into bezels or settings to securely hold faceted gemstones suspended from hook or wire findings.

Authentic pieces often feature hallmark stamps denoting metal purity, natural inclusions within the gemstone, and traditional hand-finished metalwork consistent with historical manufacturing methods.

These pieces can be worn as a statement focal point for evening wear or used to add a touch of regal colour to tailored everyday attire.

Amethyst should be stored away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and cleaned gently using warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners.
