Happy Birthday, February babies! In honor of the celebration of your fabulous entrance into the world, we’ve decided to dedicate today’s blog to you. It’s no secret that February’s birthstone is amethyst, but do you know the powers amethyst holds for its wearers?
For starters, the name amethyst comes from the Greek word for “without drunkenness,” which alone is reason enough for some people to wear it. Although, more literally, it ensures the wearer with a clear, steady, and sober mind, it might be a smart idea to adorn yourself with some amethyst jewelry before a night out commemorating your birth.
Amethyst is also said to have somewhat healing properties in that it will headaches, provide a boost to the endocrine and immune systems, and improve overall general health. Additionally, according to superstition, sleeping with amethyst under your pillow will ward off bad dreams. That is one powerful stone! Not to mention that it’s absolutely stunning with its gorgeous purple color.
To get your amethyst fix, check out any of the following items. Nina Nguyen True Love Earrings feature large amethyst stones with gold pave beads. These are perfect accessories for a night out partying. The vibrant color and brilliant luster of the stones will brighten up your already glowing face. We also love Brian Danielle’s Amethyst Stone Necklace because it incorporates diamonds with the all-powerful amethyst.
To add some glitz to your fingers, we’d go with a Blu Bijoux Amethyst Cocktail Ring. The silver ring has a large, faceted amethyst stone that will definitely not be missed. To go with it, we suggest Jennifer Zeuner’s Initial Amethyst Bracelet that will make it even more about you when it’s personalized with your initial.
We just want to take this opportunity to say to all of the guys out there that all of the previously mentioned jewelry also makes for phenomenal Valentine’s Day gifts.
