FAQs about Amethyst Necklaces
What is the meaning of amethyst?
Amethysts are often tied to spirituality, peacefulness and clarity. The cool colors of amethysts are calming and grounding, and the variety of hues can inspire feelings of tranquility and creativity. An amethyst also serves as the February birthstone.
Can amethyst be worn daily?
Amethysts can be worn daily, especially in the form of amethyst necklaces and earrings. The stones rank at a 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, which makes them decently tough but not exempt from damage. Amethyst rings need to be worn with a little more care, while an amethyst necklace can typically be worn with fewer precautions due to the safer jewelry location.
How expensive is amethyst?
The cost of an amethyst necklace will vary greatly depending on the number, quality and size of the gemstones on the piece. An elegant amethyst teardrop necklace with a small stone will cost less than an eternity necklace with alternating diamonds and amethysts. Amethyst pendants are our most budget-friendly style, especially when they’re crafted in silver.

How can you tell if an amethyst crystal necklace is real?
There are several ways you can tell if your amethyst necklace is real. First, you should consider the setting for your amethyst pendant or chain. Necklaces in precious metals like silver or gold typically feature real amethyst stones.
You can also look at the gemstone color of solitaire, chain-set designs and teardrop amethyst necklaces to discern authenticity. The raw crystal form of amethyst often exhibits color zoning in which the gem has different colors in each section. Jewelry quality amethysts are generally cut by color zone so necklaces and other pieces with this enchanting purple gem focus on one color.
A real amethyst will have a purple hue along with minimal inclusions. Because amethysts are a 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, they usually will not scratch with a simple pass of the fingernail.
Purchasing from jewelers you trust is the best way to ensure you’re getting genuine amethyst necklaces.
