The story: Amethyst, a gem prized for its beauty and symbolic depth, is closely linked to love and spirituality. Since the 15th century, it has been associated with Saint Valentine of Terni, the patron saint of lovers, who wore an amethyst around his neck as a sign of love and devotion. This gemstone also has a strong religious connotation. Its purple color, a symbol of spirituality, inspired its adoption by the Church. Thus, amethyst has become the emblematic stone of ecclesiastical outfits. It also adorned the pastoral ring, a gold ring set with amethyst, a symbol of fidelity and spiritual commitment. Known for its calming properties and deep meaning, amethyst is an ideal stone for jewelry that celebrates love, faith, and serenity.
