Amethyst and Garnets
The amethyst is a member of the Quartz family and is said to protect the wearer from drunkenness. Moses described it as a symbol of the Spirit of God in the official robes of the High Priest of the Jews, and the Russian Empress Catherine the Great sent thousands of miners into the Urals to look for it. In popular belief, the amethyst offers protection against drunkenness - for the Greek words 'amethystos' mean 'not intoxicated' in translation. A more apt stone for the month of February, month of Mardi Gras and other carnival revels, could hardly be wished for!
24” in length, triple strand of 4mm jewelers quality amethyst stones, offsets a pendant of faceted amethyst in sterling silver. The clasp is 925 sterling, set with three 4mm garnets.
Price: $250.00
