Amethyst Sterling Silver Rings features multi faceted amethyst stones that have been hand set. These rings is more valuable than other items of our sterling silver section because this stone requires more work to individually cut and set.  These amethyst rings are perfect as a stand alone pieces because they have generous sized stones.

What is a semi precious stone?

Precious stones are distinguished by their quality, their rarity and the beauty of their colours. Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz. It is part of the hexagonal crystal system. Amethyst is a semiprecious stone with a vitreous or glassy luster. It often comes in shades of violet and purple. Amethyst is used for spiritual healing, calmness, and wisdom. Amethyst is not only treasured for its spiritual properties, but also for its physical healing properties, such as reducing tension and headaches, and promoting restful sleep

Sterling Silver meaning

Real Amethyst Silver Rings are made from sterling silver and features a 92.5 stamp. This means it is 92.5% fine silver with no more than 7.5% of copper or other metals. This formula is internationally accepted and it gives sterling silver the hardness and the tolerance to work with. Anything higher than 92.5 would be too soft and tarnish too quickly. When you buy sterling silver from us, we can guarantee it is just that!

If you see the words silver plated, that means it only has a coating of sterling silver over another alloy. This will fade over time and is not able to be polished. Our sterling silver products are not plated but sterling silver all the way through-- nothing but the good stuff for you!!

Sterling Silver care tips

To keep your sterling silver looking its best, use a silver polishing cloth or silvo on an old rag and give it a gentle rub. This will give your jewellery back its brilliant shine! Silver will tarnish from being exposed to air but will take a good six weeks to discolour. Items that are worn constantly will take a lot longer! To preserve the shine on your silver avoid contact with ammonia, alcohol, fingernail polish remover or turpentine. ALWAYS remove sterling silver jewellery while in natural hot pools because of the high sulphur content in the water. Do not use silver dip. Dip cleaners work for the first few times but it puts a layer on the silver and can discolour stones and shell. Toothpaste is also not a good idea as it is too abrasive.
