The Story: Amethyst is a stone whose meaning is closely linked to love. Indeed, Saint Valentine of Terni, Patron Saint of lovers since the 15th century, wore this gem around his neck. Amethyst also carries a religious connotation: its purple color is synonymous with spirituality. This is the reason why it has become the color of ecclesiastical dress. In addition, amethyte adorned the pastoral ring, a gold ring mounted with an Amethyst as a sign of fidelity.
