Amethyst's purple hue is a subtle splash of color to add to any neutral outfits. Light amethysts look very feminine when paired with pastel pinks, natural greens, and floral prints. Dark purple amethyst jewelry looks amazing contrasted with golds, yellows, and oranges.
Wondering how to care for amethyst jewelry?
Amethyst is a good birthstone for everyday jewelry and has a factor of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. To prevent scratches, always remove your jewelry while exercising, swimming, bathing, or using harsh chemicals. Wash amethyst jewelry with warm water, a mild soap or jewelry cleaner, and a soft cloth. Store garnets separate from other jewelry in a soft cloth or pouch and away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
