Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Yellow Gold Amethyst Engagement Rings $1,750 and Above

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for yellow gold amethyst engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Amethyst evokes the rich tones of royalty. The most popular fine jewelry alloy, 14-karat yellow gold is 58.5% pure gold. It is the most durable gold recipe with a classic golden glow. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Carl Ansley, Jessica Behzad, Randy Dixon, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean yellow gold amethyst engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality yellow gold amethyst engagement 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.
