Yellow Gold Trillion and Oval Amethyst Three Stone Ring

In a previous post, we explored the rare diopside gemstone and its interesting history. In separate posts, we have also looked at other semi-precious stones like turquoise, topazes, and moonstones. Amethysts are other gemstones commonly found adorning jewelry like this yellow gold trillion and oval amethyst three stone ring. The word ‘amethyst’ comes from Ancient Greece and is composed of two words. In English, these words translate to “not” and “intoxicated”. The amethyst gemstone was believed to protect people from drunkenness. Greeks and Romans commonly made drinking vessels made out of amethyst in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. Amethyst is also the birthstone for February. Amethyst usage also has roots in ancient Egypt. It was also employed in antiquity for intaglio engraved gems. There has been evidence to suggest that even European soldiers wore amethyst amulets to protect them from harm and to keep them ‘cool-headed’. As you can see, the amethyst gemstone has a rich history. It is no surprise that it continues to be utilized in modern day jewelry. The ring weighs only 7.3 grams and feels very light to wear. It fits a size 6 finger but can be sized accordingly. If you are ever trying to secretly find out the size of your significant other’s ring, there are a couple of ways you can do that. The easiest way is to find her jewelry box if she has one and peak inside while she is showering or out of the house. Measure the circumference of the ring and provide the details to a jeweler. Separately, you can also press the ring into a bar of soap or other soft material to create an impression. The possibilities are endless.
