Chunky Amethyst Silver Ring

Amethyst is one of the most popular and well known gemstones around today. Meaning "non-intoxicated", its name derives from the Greek word Améthystos which translates to "intoxicated".

This comes from Greek mythology where a beautiful maiden named Améthystos was known to have rejected Dionysus, the god of wine. It is said Améthystos prayed to the Gods to keep her chaste, resulting in her transformation to a white stone from a maiden. Dionysus, driven by grief, is said to have poured wine on the stone, turning it purple. As a result, the Amethyst is often associated with romance, lust and love. Along with also encouraging sobriety and having a sobering effect on the wearer.
