For those looking for an alternative to a traditional diamond engagement ring, then an amethyst engagement ring is a great option. Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, and is considered a semiprecious stone. It has a vitreous or glassy lustre and comes in shades of purple and violet. There are many meanings for the amethyst stone including spiritual healing, calmness and wisdom, all qualities that you will want to maintain in your engagement. Amethyst is also the birthstone for February, which means that it makes the perfect gift for individuals born in that month.

The amethyst stone is a fabulous gemstone engagement ring because of its vivid colour that is completely your own. If you are looking to rock violet or purple, then look no further than a stunning amethyst ring. Not only this, but amethyst ranks a 7/10 on the Mohs hardness scale. While not as strong as a diamond, a high-quality amethyst, when worn with care, can last many years to come.
