Amethyst Jewellery: What to Know Before You Buy

Green Amethyst Drop Necklace Sterling Silver 925

Amethyst is purple quartz, 7 on the Mohs scale. The colour comes from iron and natural radiation in the crystal, and ranges from pale lilac to deep violet.

Looking after it

Strong sunlight fades amethyst over years, so keep it in a box rather than on a sunny shelf.

What we set it in

Our amethyst pieces run from £68 to £440. The whole selection is in the amethyst section.

How we make and mark it

Every piece here is made for ONLYWAY JEWELRY in London and, where the law requires it, hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The hallmark is not decoration: it is an independent test of the metal, struck by an assay office rather than by the maker. What the marks mean.

The price on the page is the price you pay. Delivery within the United Kingdom is tracked and included, and you have thirty days to send a piece back. Delivery and returns.

Questions

How hard is amethyst?

The colour comes from iron and natural radiation in the crystal, and ranges from pale lilac to deep violet

How should I clean it?

Strong sunlight fades amethyst over years, so keep it in a box rather than on a sunny shelf.

Can I wear it every day?

Anything at 7 or above on the Mohs scale takes daily wear well. Softer stones, pearls above all, prefer to be worn for an evening rather than through a working week.
