Amethyst

Amethyst Jewelry in Grand Cayman

Royal purple in 14-carat and 18-carat gold, one of the best-value coloured stones we set.

Royal Purple

Deep Colour Without the Deep Price

Royal purple amethyst is one of the soft, romantic colours we set most, alongside blush morganite and warm golden citrine. It is quartz, which makes it both hard-wearing enough for regular use and affordable in sizes that would be impossible in a rarer stone.

The best amethyst is a saturated purple with flashes of red, even across the whole stone. Weaker material goes pale at the edges or drifts towards grey, and because good amethyst is not expensive there is no reason to settle for that.

Amethyst is February's birthstone, which makes it one of the most common bespoke commissions we take: a birthstone pendant or ring for a birthday or a christening, cut and set in our George Town workshop.

Questions

Good to Know

Is amethyst durable enough for a ring?
Yes. Amethyst is a quartz, hard enough for regular wear in a ring, though like any coloured stone it should come off for heavy or abrasive work. It is a practical everyday choice at an accessible price.
What is good amethyst colour?
A deep, even purple, ideally with red flashes, right across the stone. Avoid material that pales towards the edges or looks greyish. Because fine amethyst is affordable, there is little reason to compromise on colour.
Is amethyst a birthstone?
Yes, amethyst is the birthstone for February, and it is one of the most frequent birthstone commissions in our workshop, usually as a pendant or a ring.
