This semi-precious gemstone is a powerful symbol of royalty and serenity. It is also associated with Bacchus, the god of intoxication and wine. Amethyst was used for carved goblets because it was believed that amethyst helped against intoxication. Even wearing an amethyst amulet was believed to help protect against the intoxicating effects of wine. 
 Celebrate the sixth year anniversary with fine amethyst. Some of our favorite designers that feature this purple-hued quartz are Stephen Estelle, Toby Pomeroy, and Lori Gadola.
