When you seek clear eyes and a calm mind.
The stone: One of our most beautiful talismans, this necklace is made of gem-quality faceted amethyst. A prized variety of crystalline quartz coloured purple by trace amounts of iron and natural irradiation during formation, it’s the sibling stone of yellow citrine. These particular beads are faceted to catch and reflect light, enhancing their fine purple colour.
Why amethyst for peace of mind: Amethyst is one of the most documented gemstones in history. The Greeks called it amethystos, which translates to ‘not drunk’. Believed to be a stone of Dionysus, the wearer would not lose control of themselves no matter how much they drank. This tradition carried forward into medieval Europe, where lapidary texts consistently attribute the stone with enhancing mental clarity, measured judgement and the calm. It was worn by bishops, carried by scholars and recommended in English herbal traditions for moments when the mind was running too fast. .
The talisman: Wear this when you need to think clearly, feel steadily, or simply find your way back to yourself after a period of noise. It won't do the work for you. But it can remind you what calm feels like.
Materials: Gem-quality amethyst beads, vegan silk, gold-filled / sterling silver fastenings
Length: 16 inches
Construction: Hand-strung and finished with durable fastenings for longevity
Lead Time: Gold filled: available now. Silver: 2 weeks.
