Amethyst Jewellery – February's Birthstone

Amethyst Jewellery

Amethyst is one of the world’s most popular gemstones and has been prized for centuries for its fascinating hues—ranging from delicate lilac to soft violet to intense purple. At Velur, you’ll find high-quality amethyst jewellery in two elegant finishes: gold vermeil (925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating) and 14K solid gold. Each piece is crafted by experienced goldsmiths with the utmost precision and comes with a lifetime warranty—guaranteeing exceptional quality, timeless elegance, and fair prices with no middlemen.

• Pendants —perfect for pairing with a matching necklace made of the same material, for a cohesive look

Gold Vermeil or 14K Solid Gold—Which One Goes Best with Your Amethyst?

Both versions contain real gold—the difference lies in their composition and characteristics:

The delicate violet hue of amethyst is particularly striking in both white gold and yellow gold. In white gold, the gemstone appears clear, modern, and elegant, while yellow gold underscores its warm, classic, and luxurious appeal. Those looking for high-quality amethyst jewellery with a refined gold finish will find a stylish alternative in gold vermeil, which features a core of 925 sterling silver. Both versions are made from recycled gold and certified sources.

Genuine Amethyst – Quality That Lasts

Genuine amethyst jewellery from Velur stands for uncompromising quality in materials, craftsmanship, and quality control.

Specifically, this means:

• Each amethyst stone is examined under a microscope for colour, colour intensity, cut, and inclusions.
• Each frame is digitally optimized before it is manufactured.
• Every surface is inspected multiple times before a piece of jewellery leaves our workshop.
• Lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Amethyst is a natural stone from the quartz family. Its characteristic violet colour is caused by traces of iron and natural processes within the crystal. The colour palette ranges from light lavender and delicate lilac to intense violet and deep purple. For a lighter and particularly fresh look, be sure to check out our aquamarine jewellery.

• Hardness – 7 on the Mohs scale, making it ideal for everyday jewellery wear
• Brilliance – vibrant light reflections and captivating colour effects
• Natural stone – natural inclusions are a sign of its authenticity and uniqueness

Amethyst Cleaning & Care

Amethyst is a low-maintenance gemstone that, with the right care, will retain its beauty for many years.
