Amethyst is a purple quartz stone that is the birthstone for the month of February and the astrological sign of Pisces. The stones used in amethyst fine jewelry can range in color from lilac to deep purple and mauve to lavender with flashes of pink.

Fine amethyst jewelry is available in a range of types for men and women. There are rings with one or more stones, which may include an amethyst and other gem types, such as diamond. Earrings made of these gemstones are also available. The earrings may be studs, pendant, hoop, or dangle type. Necklaces may also have these gemstones. The stones in a necklace may be fixed in place or hanging on a pendant. Bracelets are also available. The bracelets may feature a stone fixed in place in a setting and connected to other fixed-stones, with spacers between the set stones.

• Lab-created: A lab-created amethyst gemstone is engineered by a person using natural materials, such as quartz. The gemstone is created using heat or irradiation to create the structure and color of an amethyst. It reflects different colors of light when exposed to sunlight or synthetic lighting sources.
• Natural: Natural amethysts are found in the earth, and their structure is naturally formed from the heat and chemical processes of the earth. They will reflect different colors of light based on their environment.
• Simulated: Simulated amethyst is human-made and constructed of purple glass.

• Choose a type: Select a ring, earrings, bracelet, or pendant necklace.
• Select a type of metal fitting for the gemstone: A piece of fine sterling silver or gold amethyst jewelry may contain one or more metals for the gemstone fittings. The available metals include platinum, rose gold, white gold, yellow gold, multi-tone gold, and sterling silver.
