February's birthstone, amethyst, is a stunning purple gemstone that has captured the hearts of jewelry lovers for centuries. Amethyst is a variety of quartz and is found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia. Amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, meaning it is a very durable gemstone that you be confident in wearing every day.

Amethyst earrings are a classic choice for those who want to add a touch of elegance to their look. These earrings can feature a simple stud design or a more elaborate drop style, and can be paired with other gemstones, such as diamonds, for a truly unique look.

Amethyst's beautiful purple color is due to the presence of iron in its crystal structure. The color can range from light lilac to deep violet, and can sometimes have reddish or bluish tones.
