Jewelry Box

It’s certainly en vogue right now to go bold with your accessories. This can often mean big buckled, high waist belts or intricately carved, beaded, or otherwise ornamented bangles. But there’s something to be said for sporting understated accessories. As is the case with many fashion items, the bigger and bolder the statement, the more prone that item is to being a fad.

But if you decide to sport a plain sterling silver necklace, this could be a beautiful addition to your little black cocktail dress. It would also complement a tan pashmina or other classic accessory. While it is definitely a more understated look, it also isn’t in any danger of going out of style. It is also age appropriate across generations. Something as simple and striking as a single chain necklace will look equally appropriate on a 20-something, a 30-something, or a 60-something.

If you know somebody that was born in February, their birthstone is the amethyst. And these people are particularly lucky because amethyst is a varied and versatile stone. For one, it comes in many different shades of purple. This means that you can wear amethysts whether you prefer the light, almost translucent purple or the deep, rich purple. Amethysts are also easily faceted, so they make an ideal gem for rings, necklaces, and earrings.

Because of this wide diversity with amethyst stones, amethyst jewelry makes a fantastic gift for anyone born in February or anyone who simply enjoys a beautiful and high quality piece of jewelry. An amethyst necklace is sure to be particularly appreciated, because not only will it be a beautiful addition to their accessory wardrobe, but they will also get to appreciate the beauty of the piece of jewelry themselves.
