Talisman or fashion accessory? Discover the magic of the purple gemstone and fall in love with amethyst jewellery!
Amethyst is one of the most popular gemstones of all time. This fascinating purple mineral has been used in jewellery for centuries. But don't be fooled, beauty is not the only reason for its popularity. Amethyst is said to have many magical powers! To discover what lies behind this magical gemstone, read on. Perhaps you too will be enchanted and make amethyst jewellery an essential part of your collection. As mentioned above, the use of amethyst has a very long tradition. The first references to this magical gemstone in connection with jewellery date back to ancient times. And not only in the culture of Egypt, but also in Afghanistan, Tajikistan and others. The original sources of beautiful amethysts were found in Borneo, Africa and Sri Lanka. Since the nineteenth century, the purple mineral has been imported mainly from Brazil and Uruguay. The beauty of amethyst has been admired by humans since ancient times, and the gemstone has been used to make dishes, small artistic statuettes, cylinder seals and, of course, jewellery. In addition to its aesthetic beauty, the stone has also been used for its special effects. In the Middle Ages it served as a rather curious talisman. Why unusual? Because the stone was supposed to protect its wearer from excessive drinking, drunkenness and its consequences. Nowadays, amethyst is worn to bring peace and harmony. It can also enhance higher mental abilities. It is associated with the signs of Capricorn and Pisces. In many cultures, amethyst is believed to have healing properties and is therefore used in medicine.

Amethyst jewellery and its charms
A typical feature of amethysts is their beautiful colour. There are green amethysts, but the more popular, well-known and common variety is the purple amethyst. The intensity of the hues depends on the specific gemstone, which is why the range of amethyst jewellery is so varied. You can choose from soft purple to the rarest deep violet. But whatever shade you choose, when paired with yellow, white or rose gold, amethyst will always look absolutely stunning.
MIALIS TIP: Unlike other jewellers, in our jewellery store you can choose any colour of gold without paying extra. So don't forget to take advantage of this and make your jewellery match your personal style.
Necklaces and pendants
For those who want to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit, an Amethyst necklace is the perfect piece of jewellery. You can choose a necklace in two lengths to suit your exact preferences, neither too long nor too short. Of course, you can also fill your jewellery box only with the amethyst pendant and combine it with your favourite chain. Whichever necklace you choose, the amethyst will be an interesting element in both day and evening outfits. For women who believe in its magical powers, it can serve not only as a beautiful accessory but also as a stylish talisman.
TIP MIALIS: Look here for amethyst pendants and necklaces in dainty designs. If we had to recommend one, it would be the gold amethyst and diamond pendant LILA. The combination of deep purple and subtle sparkle will enhance the beauty and femininity of any wearer.
Rings
A gold amethyst ring is an excellent way to express your unique personality and original style. On a woman's hand, the distinctive stone is unmistakable and its exceptional colour will brighten any look. It is also relatively durable, making it ideal for everyday wear. And if you're planning an engagement and want to choose something special for the moment, amethyst is the perfect choice for an engagement ring.
MIALIS TIP: We love unique jewellery! Also, do you (or the future owner of the jewel) have a weakness for unique designs? Don't overlook the model BORA. The combination of minimalism and unconventional kite amethyst will make a big splash, even as an unconventional engagement ring!

How to take care of your amethyst jewellery
Amethyst is a relatively resistant gemstone, but it does need some care. To protect its beauty and keep your jewellery looking like new, remember to clean it regularly with a mild soap solution and a soft polishing cloth. Professional cleaning should also be considered. For more information on how to care for your jewellery, read our article.
MIALIS TIP: With the right care you can extend the lifetime of your jewellery! You can get a free professional cleaning every six months on pieces from our jewellery shop.
How to wear amethyst jewellery
If you love contrasts, choose jewellery in warm tones such as yellow or rose gold. White gold will soften the jewellery. The advantage is that purple amethyst looks great with any colour, so don't be afraid to experiment.
Minimalist jewellery is more suitable for everyday wear, as it complements an outfit in a sophisticated way without drawing too much attention to itself. On the other hand, a bold piece of jewellery will make a fantastic impression at evening events. And don't forget about layering, which can be the perfect compromise between extravagant and dainty looks.
