February may be a short month, but its birthstone packs a joyful punch. Amethyst glows in rich shades of purple that feel regal, mysterious, and full of personality. It is the kind of gemstone that invites people to lean in for a closer look. At Dickinson Jewelers, we have always loved sharing the stories behind the stones we carry, and amethyst is one of the most fun to explore.
A Gem with Ancient Roots
Amethyst has been adored for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks believed it brought clarity and protection, and royalty throughout Europe treasured it as a symbol of wisdom and strength. Purple was once one of the hardest colors to create in textiles, which meant that for centuries amethyst was reserved for those with high status. Even today, the gemstone carries an air of confidence and calm that draws people in.
Its name comes from the Greek word “amethystos,” meaning not intoxicated. According to legend, wearing the stone helped keep the mind clear and decisions steady. Whether or not you believe in gemstone folklore, it is easy to see why amethyst earned such a strong reputation. Its bold color simply feels powerful.
Beauty that Fits Every Style
One of the best parts about amethyst is how easy it is to wear. From pale lilac to deep royal purple, every shade offers a slightly different mood. Whether you love dainty pieces or bold statement styles, amethyst always finds a way to shine.
At Dickinson Jewelers, we hand select pieces that highlight the natural beauty of this gemstone. Here are a few favorites that capture the playful spirit of February.
