February Birthstone Spotlight: Amethyst

Made for Your Valentine Reading February Birthstone Spotlight: Amethyst 4 minutes

February is illuminated by the serene and regal beauty of amethyst, a gemstone long admired for its captivating violet hues and refined elegance. As the season unfolds, it is only fitting to explore the heritage, symbolism, and enduring sophistication of this treasured stone. At Hogans Family Jewellers, we are proud to present a curated selection of fine amethyst jewellery, each piece showcasing the distinctive character of February’s birthstone.

This semi-precious gemstone carries a rich and storied past, prized across cultures for both its beauty and its meaning. Its name is derived from the ancient Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated,” reflecting an early belief that the stone offered clarity of mind and protection from excess. Throughout history, amethyst has adorned royal collections and ceremonial jewels, revered for its noble colour and luminous transparency.

Amethyst and other softer gemstones require a gentle touch to preserve their natural beauty. We recommend wearing these pieces with care and having them professionally checked by our jewellers at least once a year to ensure they remain in perfect condition. With attentive wear and expert care, your amethyst jewellery will continue to radiate its serene violet hues for generations.

We invite you to discover a refined selection of amethyst pieces from our collection, thoughtfully crafted designs that offer a distinctive and elegant way to celebrate February birthdays and special occasions alike.
