February’s amethyst birthstone inspired pendant is violet and purple. I always liked how the word sounded, and had no idea it was from the Greek word “amethystos,” which means “not intoxicated.” Some ancients made the association that since amethyst was the color of wine, that somehow it could protect from intoxication.
The geodes that fascinated me as a child, with their purple crystal insides, were amethyst. The outside was ordinary rock, and broken open to reveal a whole magical world inside.
If February is your month, or you love purple, I’d be glad to make one for you.
Mosaics are so pretty and I enjoy anything birthstone related. My girls gave me a mother’s ring for a Christmas gift. Such a thoughtful gift for moms.
Visiting from SITS. Nice to meet you!
I’m a February birthday {tomorrow in fact!} so I had to pop on over from SITS to see what the birthstone inspiration was! Beautiful…
Cool to have a February baby liking the pendant!
I used to be mesmerized by the descriptions and photos of mother’s rings in the Sears catalog–that’s very cool that your girls gave you one for Christmas.
I am going to have to take a look at that…since my birthday is next Saturday…thanks for stopping by today!
Happy Weekend!
I kept clicking your linked within teasers because each month was more beautiful than the last! And this one is mine, so I HAD to look! It’s gorgeous!
