Amethyst Necklaces

Amethysts are often tied to spirituality, peacefulness and clarity. The cool colours 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.

Amethysts can be worn daily, especially in the form of 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 necklaces and earrings sit in safe places.

Heavenly amethysts can be purchased for hundreds of dollars, or thousands. The cost of an amethyst necklace will vary greatly depending on the number, quality and size of the stones on the piece. An elegant amethyst teardrop necklace with a small stone may cost less that a thousand dollars, while an extravagant amethyst and diamond pendant can cost much more.
