Low Cost Green Amethyst Pear-Shaped Bracelet Online

It has been quite some time since I have written a new here for my green amethyst blogspot blog. In case you were wondering, I was pretty busy completing my new book with working title - Spiritual Birthstones. That's another story, though, and I will be making another post soon enough for all of you interested in getting a deeper insight into the spiritual meanings of birthstones, including amethyst which is a February birthstone. While my approach to birthstones is somewhat different than what you might have heard so far, I have nevertheless included a short reminder at the end of this text. Today I will blog about a nice and very affordable pearl shaped green amethyst bracelet I recently discovered at Amazon.com.

Green Amethyst Pearl Shaped Bracelet

Green amethyst is a very gentle stone. Its color may be pale green and not as intense as emerald green, but this can be seen as an advantage, rather than a down side of this beautiful gem. If you are looking for an affordable prasiolite bracelet that will match equally well your evening wardrobe and your daily clothing - this pearl shaped bracelet at Amazon.com is a great deal. Set in sterling silver, this bracelet will provide you with a minimal weight of green amethyst gemstones of almost 36 carats. It is a 7.25 inches long bracelet that 0comes with a box with tongue and safety clasp, and a blue sueded cloth pouch. The amethysts are mounted in light-enhancing silver basket settings. They are connected with a beautiful drape around the wrist. The stones are nearly perfect with their glisters and dazes that make you wonder if there is something that comes close to it.

The Price

Now, green amethyst jewelry can be very expensive. If you exclude the lab-created green amethyst plain bracelets that can cost less than $100, the price can vary considerably. This is no surprise, as sometimes you are expected to pay several hundreds dollars even for a 5 karat prasiolite ring. Similarly, a yellow gold bracelet can costs well above $1k. Last time I checked, this bracelet with a total of more then 35 carats of gems was available for about $160. This price was obtained after the applied 52% discount they offered. Considering the caliber and beauty of this bracelet, this is definitely a jewelry piece with great price to quality ratio.

The Color

When we consider the delicate hues of prasiolite, it is a very common thing that the color is expected to be artificially enhanced. I guess this bracelet is no exception in this regard. Even when enhanced, some people find it to be disappointing pale, almost bordering with gray. I personally find the delicate shades of this green amethyst prasiolite bracelet wondrous. Each of the pearl shaped amethysts will display great clarity and its leek green color is stunning. However, the color is a matter of taste, and you should decide for yourself whether or not you favor it.

Are There Complaints

There are some complaints that this bracelet is a bit hard to fasten with just one hand. While this might be true, it has nothing to do with this specific bracelet - almost all bracelets are tough to fasten.

What's the Customers' Opinion

These are some of the impressions of the Amazon customers who purchased this bracelet:

• Besides my engagement ring and diamond studs that I never remove, it's my most worn and beloved piece of jewelry.
• This bracelet is beautiful and sparkly, and was perfect on my wrist at holiday parties.
• Definitely too fancy for everyday wear, at least for me.

Amethyst as a February Birthstone

Amethyst is a beautiful gemstone with a lore and reputation of possessing special spiritual and metaphysical powers, meanings, and good fortune. Especially it is believed that amethyst, along with green amethyst prasiolite, is a stone of prosperity and abundance of those born in the astrological sign of Aquarius and Pisces.

It is possible to challenge the usual association of birthstones with certain months, and especially if the true spiritual perspective is adopted. The more spiritual perspective, as well as the new age approach, associates green amethyst with the zodiac sign of Pisces, but almost all signs have it as their secondary or ternary birthstone. This puts amethyst really high on the list of potentially beneficial stones.

The majority of cultures had their own versions of birthstones, like the Old Testament breastplate of 12 semi precious stones. The old Indian culture is also known to have associated certain gems with their ayurvedic calendar and horoscope signs. As far as the contemporary birthstone list is concerned, the most famous is the one published by the American National Association of Jewelers some hundred years ago.

Conclusion

This is absolutely a lovely green amethyst piece. It can be a favorite birthday present for someone you love born in February. You can even give yourself a present, and "surprise" yourself. Every one of us should be able to love one's true nature, one's life and existence. This is definitely a nice purchase - and you can be sure that you will be receiving compliments while wearing this bracelet.You can buy this green amethyst bracelet from HERE.

Amethyst, Peridot, Garnet, and Other Gemstones Stud Earrings in Sterling Silver

 This is a guest post from Catherine, an online friend of mine and a persona behind charmbraceletsjewelry.com.

This post is a review about a very nice individually boxed stud earring set I recently purchased online from Amazon.com. Amazon is my favorite shopping place and initially I was looking to buy only amethyst stud earrings (not green amethyst which this blog is dedicated to). However, as it turned out there was an excellent offer that included at the same time a number of other stones besides amethyst: peridot, garnet, blue topaz and citrine. While initially not looking for other gemstones, I found myself amazed as to how elegant this earring set was, and even more so when I considered the price which was more than favorable. So here is a quick look at the earrings, although the photos bellow could never depict the real look and feel of them.

The set of 5 gemstones stud earrings

Besides the affordable price, the great thing concerning these earrings was the fact that they are all made out of genuine gemstones. If we neglect the more or less obligatory practice of enhancing the color of the gemstones - all of the stones embedded here are natural.

The shape and cut of these earrings is also very attractive, measuring up to 8mm in one dimension. Each of the stones is separately shaped. If you have had the privilege of having 1c diamonds you will get the feeling about their approximate size. The total weight of all 10 stones is slightly above 8 carat. They are best watched from the front. All gemstones are brilliantly colored and vibrant, but by far the most beautiful is citrine. Citrine is anyhow one of my favorite stones, so I might be slightly biased here. The silver background is quite pretty.

If your earlobes are too tiny and slender, or if you are buying them as a gift for a teenager, you might face a problem as the earrings will certainly drop a bit. In this case you would wanna consider purchasing an extra stabilizer, just like this one here. Just a sidenote - if you are purchasing them as a gift, consider buying an extra wooden (or other kind) jewelry box. They will look so much more valuable than in their original boxing although each pair was separately boxed.

A couple of words about the individual gems. The blue topaz stones are understandingly light colored. This is the color you will find in many gems of this class. You can read this excellent article about the various colors and shades of blue topaz. They look nice against darker backgrounds. The garnets are absolutely beautiful in their particular dark reddish color. The amethyst color is just perfect - neither too dark nor too light. And the peridot earrings are very close to the citrine (my favorite of all) (this is my personal choice, of course - you might like some other crystal more). You can read more about the properties of peridot on the green gemstones page here.

In conclusion, this earring set is more than worth the money. You can check the price for yourself HERE(it may somewhat vary from time to time). I got them for around $40 at Amazon.com which is $8 per pair of stud earrings. It is an excellent deal and especially so for silver earrings with natural faceted stones.

These earrings are simply put exquisite, and unless you are looking for something extra special, you would definitely love them. It is not just me, the reviewsat Amazon.com show that than the majority of buyers gives them best marks - five stars. They make a terrific gift too, and ... think about it. If you feel especially attached to a pair of them, you can keep them for yourself, while still gifting the rest of them.
