Understanding This Piece
About Amethyst
Amethyst is purple quartz, ranging from pale lavender to deep royal purple. Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia produce the highest-quality stones. Amethyst is hard enough for daily wear (7 on Mohs) and has been prized since antiquity — Greek and Roman tradition held that amethyst protected against intoxication, and it was historically reserved for royalty and clergy. Amethyst is the February birthstone and the 6th-anniversary gem, and offers the most vivid purple in fine jewelry at a relatively accessible price point.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
About the Bezel Setting
A bezel setting rims the entire perimeter of the center diamond in a continuous metal collar — the most secure setting style available and the most snag-free for daily wear. Bezel settings give a clean, modern silhouette and are the preferred choice for active wearers, medical professionals, and clients who prioritize maximum stone security. The trade-off is reduced light entry to the diamond's pavilion, which slightly mutes brilliance compared to prong settings.
