February Birthstone: Amethyst
Kasim Hardaway
Happy Birthday to all of our Jet Friends born in February.
For all of you born in February, your birthstone is Amethyst and don't forget that Valentine's Day is this month too! Your birthstone has double importance! This gorgeous multi-hued stone ranges in many shades from deep purple to light lilac and beyond and it has a fascinating history dating back 2500 years ago in France. It is said by many to be the traditional stone preferred by St. Valentine. St. Valentine was a priest who traveled the country performing numerous marriages. He also wore an amethyst ring with the image of his assistant, Cupid. Symbolizing piety, humility, sincerity, and spirituality, Amethyst became the color of royalty and the stone of many clergies. It is still worn by many Bishops today.
This highly prized stone is available in several jewelry pieces at Jet this month. We have created lovely designs incorporating Amethyst, the gemstone that is often believed to give us peace, love, courage, inner strength and happiness. Who could want more for their Birthday Girl or Valentine?
