Amethyst Rings: The Underrated Anniversary Gemstone

Here’s something you probably didn’t know…

Amethyst is more than just a pretty purple stone. For centuries, this beautiful gemstone has been used to symbolize love, devotion, and protection. Ancient Greeks even considered the amethyst helpful for preventing and curing impotency.

It’s no wonder then that…

The global amethyst ring market has been valued at $4.5 billion USD and growing. According to the Business of Fashion, amethyst rings are all the rage right now.

What this tells me is that there are a lot of people buying amethyst rings. That’s a good thing, by the way. Unlike diamonds, amethysts are unique, they are special, and they will make your partner feel like they are the only one who received this “uncommon” gift.

6th Anniversary Connection

Did you know…

Amethyst is the official 6th-anniversary gemstone. If you two are celebrating 6 years of togetherness, this ring will be nothing short of a tradition right down to your last ancestor.

But even if you’re not there yet…

Amethyst rings make amazing anniversary gifts, no matter what year it is. The color purple represents royalty, luxury, and a commitment as deep as the ocean.

These stones are gorgeous and full of deep symbolism. Your relationship is not a cookie-cutter chain store product. Why should your anniversary gift be?

The Amethyst Advantage

Amethyst stones come in an array of purple shades, from light lavender to rich violet. There is a unique stone to match every personality type and sense of style.

Here are the major benefits:

• Affordability: Amethyst is significantly cheaper than diamonds, allowing you to purchase a larger, more impressive stone for the same budget
• Hardness: Amethyst ranks 7 out of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it durable enough for everyday wear
• Metal Versatility: Purple stones look great in white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum. Go nuts.
• Variety: Amethyst comes in all shapes and sizes. This means that the stone you choose will be unique from your partner’s neighbor’s stone.

And here’s the best part…

Personalized jewelry is the hottest new trend in anniversary gifts. An amethyst ring not only provides you that “wow” customization factor but is also timeless and classic.

The Golden Rules: Selecting The Perfect Amethyst Ring

It’s easy to get lost in the excitement, the symbolism, and of course the beauty of amethyst. Before you do, however, here’s what you should be looking at.

Setting Style

Does your partner wear chunky or minimal rings? Simple or vintage?

If they prefer subtle, delicate pieces, go with a solitaire setting.

Vintage-inspired jewelry? Try halo or three-stone rings.

Minimalistic lovers should be looking at bezel or tension settings.

Metal Type

Different metals will dramatically change the appearance of an amethyst stone.

White gold and platinum are sleek, modern, and give a cool contrast to the warm purple hue. This is best for modern or minimalist style.

Yellow gold creates a classic, rich look that makes the purple pop. Go with this one if you know they love traditional jewelry.

Rose gold is romantic, feminine, and softens a bolder purple hue. Ideal for a trendy, fashionable style.

Size

I know what you’re thinking…

“Big is best right?”

Wrong. At least when it comes to jewelry.

Size is a total trap. An amethyst ring should be in proportion to your partner’s ring size. Look at what they currently wear to get the answers you need.

Amethyst rings for them should complement their style. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make a statement. Trust me, they’ll notice.

Accessorizing (Or Dressing Down) Amethyst Rings

I think you get it by now…

Amethyst rings are versatile, modern, and work for any style or occasion. You want them to actually use this gift you so painstakingly selected, right?

No need to go on for too long here. Amethyst rings are:

• Easy to Wear: A simple amethyst ring in white or yellow gold goes with everything and will be their daily go-to
• Stacking Friendly: Rings look great layered with other rings. If they like to stack, find a ring that’s on the thin side.
• Statement Making: Large, vintage-inspired rings with center stones flanked by accent diamonds or other stones are perfect for a bolder jewelry-loving partner.

Caring For Your Amethyst Ring

The amethyst itself requires very little care. There are some simple daily rules, though.

Daily Care:

• Take off before doing dishes, cleaning, or other heavy labor
• Store away from harder gemstones like diamonds
• Avoid extreme heat or direct sunlight for long periods

Cleaning:

Warm soapy water and a soft brush. That’s all you need.

Professional Maintenance:

Annually bring the ring to a professional jeweler to have them check the setting.

With proper care, your amethyst ring can last a lifetime.

Time to Buy

If you’ve got a traditionalist partner, or they are a free spirit that hates tradition, the amethyst still makes the perfect anniversary gift.

The time is now.

It’s time to get an amethyst ring that matches both your style and your partner’s style.

They might know the in-depth history of these stones but, unless they are an old soul that appreciates the finer things, your partner has no idea you just got them the trendiest gift that the market will only get better at.

Your anniversary gifts tell a story, they give away all your secrets, and the one secret you do want to spill? You put thought and effort into getting your partner something they truly deserve.

Amethyst rings are pretty much a one-stop shop for the modern gift-giver. They are unique, meaningful, affordable, and striking. The perfect gift.

Stop with the flowers, chocolates, stuffed bears. Give your partner an amethyst ring this year and make this anniversary one to remember.

Pick something you want to wear. Watch as your partner gleefully destroys the box and opens that one perfect gift that took so much effort for you to find.

Let’s Go: Buying An Amethyst Ring

Stop overthinking it. I promise, you are overthinking it. Amethysts are simple. Beautiful. Relatively affordable. Every amethyst has its own color nuances and unique patterns. Amethysts can be as subtle or loud as your partner. The classic look in a yellow gold amethyst solitaire ring. Something edgy and modern for the minimalist.

A sparkly vintage-inspired cluster design for the retro-queen in your life.

The most important part…

You don’t have to take my word for it. Just take a look at what’s already in your partner’s jewelry box.

Are they subtle and classic? Or are they loud and proud?

Find what looks and feels right for you both and have fun.

Oh, and for that yearly price point they offered you?

Forget about it. You can thank me later.
