Amethyst Sterling Silver Cufflinks | Purple Gemstone | February Birthstone

Square-cut amethyst gemstone cufflinks, 15mm x 15mm, set in solid sterling silver with a T-bar fastening.  These cufflinks are available in two finishes: a flat cut where the stone sits flush to the silver frame, or a curved cut with a deeper setting that darkens the purple and gives the stone more presence under light.

The Geology:

Amethyst is a variety of quartz, and its purple colour comes from trace iron within the crystal structure altered by natural irradiation during formation — no two batches of rough stone are ever quite identical, which is part of why each pair carries subtle variation in tone.

Why we love Amethyst:

• Amethyst is the birthstone for February
• Traditional gemstone for a 33rd wedding anniversary
• Fun fact: The Ancient Greeks believed a cup carved from amethyst would stop you getting drunk
• The word Amethyst comes from the Greek "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated."
