Frequently asked questions
-
Is amethyst durable for everyday wear?
Yes. Amethyst scores a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for daily jewelry with basic care. Avoid harsh chemicals, hard impacts, and prolonged direct sunlight. Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush.
-
Does amethyst look better in gold or silver?
Both work well. 14K yellow gold brings warmth and depth to amethyst's purple tones and creates a classic look. Sterling silver and white gold offer a clean, modern contrast that highlights the cooler side of the stone. Rose gold adds a soft, romantic quality. All options are available in recycled metals at Erin Gallagher Jewelry.
-
Can I customize my amethyst jewelry?
Yes. Most styles offer multiple metals, stone sizes, and cuts. Visit GemBar to design your own piece with your choice of metal, chain length, stone, and engraving. Custom requests are also available by emailing hello@egjewelry.com.
