The Jewel of Peace: Natural Amethyst Gemstones
Discover the regal beauty of Amethyst, the world’s most famous purple gemstone. A member of the quartz family, Amethyst owes its stunning violet colour to natural irradiation and iron impurities. From the delicate "Rose de France" pastels to the intense, deep-purple violets, this stone has remained a staple of fine jewellery for millennia.

-
Faceted Amethyst: Precision-cut to showcase the stone’s high clarity and vibrant light return.
-
Amethyst Cabochons: Smooth, polished domes that highlight the rich, saturated colour and natural "zebra" banding often found in the stone.
