Frequently Asked Questions
Is this amethyst suitable for everyday jewellery wear?
Amethyst registers a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, placing it firmly among the more durable gemstones available for jewellery use. This 9.13-carat stone is well-suited for rings, pendants, and earrings intended for regular wear, though — as with all fine gemstones — we recommend storing it separately and avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals to preserve its brilliance over time.
What jewellery styles work best with a pear-cut amethyst of this size?
The pear silhouette is one of the most flattering and versatile cuts in fine jewellery. At 17 x 12 mm and 9.13 carats, this amethyst has the presence to serve as a centrepiece solitaire in a pendant or cocktail ring, and its elongated teardrop form is particularly striking in drop earrings. It pairs beautifully with yellow gold for a regal warmth, or white gold and platinum for a cooler, more contemporary elegance.
What makes amethyst a meaningful gemstone choice?
Amethyst carries a rich heritage that spans ancient Greece, medieval Europe, and the courts of royalty worldwide, where it was prized as a symbol of wisdom, calm, and clarity of mind. As the birthstone for February, it also holds deep personal significance for many. Beyond its storied history, amethyst’s distinctive purple colour — ranging from soft lavender to the deep violet seen in this stone — gives it an enduring allure that transcends trends.
