Amethyst has been highly valued for elevating jewelry for a long time, notably during the Victorian era, when this stone lived as a bracelet. Amethysts were loved for their enchanting purple hue and deep symbolism and meaning. The stone represented spirituality, love, and fidelity, which explains why the most fashionable Victorians gave amethyst jewelry to show affection. As well, the Victorian era was a time of renewed interest in historical jewelry styles and novel materials. Ancient Greek and Roman motifs provided inspiration to jewelry designers of the 19th century.

Amethysts held a special position in Ancient Greece and Rome because back then, many believed that the stone had protective powers, imparting the wearer with clear-headedness and reason. More specifically, it was thought that amethysts had an association with sobriety and protection against intoxication. In Ancient Rome, February was the most popular month for wine festivals. Some believe that this is why amethysts are February’s birthstone.
