Amethyst: The Trending Color of Winter
Amethysts have long had a rich history of astonishing civilizations with their stunning, saturated beauty.
Ancient Greeks and Romans used this vibrant stone in several ways, ranging from jewelry to power amulets. As such, amethysts have been highlighted through the ages in crowns, scepters, and rings as a symbol of royalty.
The fashion world is also beginning to make an unexpected shift toward the semi-precious purple stone, which ranges in color in from soft lilac to rich violet. With strong healing properties, the amethyst is also believed to have the ability to enlighten and empower. Simply adorning yourself with a necklace comprised of the eye-catching quartz variety may invoke spiritual awareness and a new level of calm.
Therefore, in addition to representing royalty and luxury, an amethyst pendant or choker can help keep you centered and beautifully on-trend this holiday season. How timely.
So, without further ado, here is how we’re paying tribute and rocking the shade from head to toe. Keep the overall look chic, sophisticated and balanced, and finish it with pearl drops for a touch of classic romance and an amethyst cocktail ring…because you can never have enough dazzle or ‘center.’
