Our unrivalled selection of designs by Martha Gomez Gutierrez, Ruzanna Davtian, Paul Bierker, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find a ring that's just your style. Because all Gemvara sterling silver amethyst rings are made to order, we can hand-select the finest quality materials to perfectly suit your design. Amethyst shimmers with a deep purple hue. Sterling silver is 92.5 percent silver. Gemvara's silver is more pure: we use Argentium 960, which naturally resists tarnish better than any other silver. Be careful when removing rings to wash your hands. Don't leave your ring on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Clean sterling silver amethyst rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality sterling silver amethyst rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

The gem of peace and sobriety, the name "amethyst" comes from a Greek the word meaning "not drunken." According to the ancient Greeks, this wine-colored gem had the power to keep you sober. Amethyst is often used in religious settings as a symbol of piety and celibacy. Tibetan Buddhists meditate using amethyst rosaries to calm the mind and Bishop's rings often feature an amethyst. Color is the most important element in amethyst quality: the more vibrant and bright the lavender purple hue, the more valuable the amethyst. Gemvara's amethyst is a rich purple that complements both warm and cool colors. A well-cut amethyst is also important because the right cut will maximize the color and well as allow the amethyst to sparkle in the light. Amethyst is the February birthstone and the 6th and 17th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality amethyst will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine amethyst jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
