Sterling Silver Wire Amethyst Cross Pendant (with complimentary silver-tone chain) | Graduation Gift | Christmas Gift Box

Exquisite amethyst, once used to adorn religious jewelry and royal crowns, was considered as valuable as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. This is why fine amethysts were chosen for the regalia of bishops and the crowns of British royalty. Amethyst is the birthstone for February and one of the symbols for the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. It is believed to foster love and enhance social connections. While not as directly influential in attracting popularity as rose quartz, wearing amethyst regularly can help one encounter helpful people and broaden their social circle. It is also a crystal that can boost career luck and aid in leadership. Individuals in supervisory or leadership roles may find that wearing amethyst jewelry helps to temper an overbearing demeanor, bestowing an air of nobility, and fostering greater empathy and tolerance, thereby earning the trust and obedience of subordinates. Furthermore, amethyst is known for its calming and relaxing properties. It is regarded as a tranquilizing stone, assisting individuals in alleviating stress, promoting relaxation, and enhancing a sense of peace. Most importantly, amethyst is thought to enhance wisdom and spirituality. It is considered the stone of the right brain, aiding in deep contemplation and meditation, activating intuition and the subconscious, and improving memory.
