Amanda’s Style File: Amethyst Delights

February 4, 2019

The jewelry industry and gemstone enthusiasts take over Tucson this week for the gem shows. That means that Instagram feeds will be filled with shots of colorful gems and jewelry, but none more frequently than oversized amethyst geodes.

Standing tall and sparkling in the desert sun, these geodes are a reminder of the natural beauty and splendor that amethyst—February’s birthstone—possesses.

On a smaller scale, amethyst in jewelry is beloved both for its rich purple hue and its budget-friendly flexibility.
