Amethyst Wedding Bands

Amethyst makes a beautiful and meaningful wedding ring, valued for its rich purple color, its symbolism of love and devotion, and its affordability. At Mohs 7 it is durable enough for a ring worn with reasonable care, though a protective setting is recommended and it should be kept from prolonged sunlight to preserve its color. As the February birthstone, it also carries personal significance. For a harder purple alternative, see purple sapphire in our purple gemstone jewelry collection.

An amethyst wedding ring symbolizes love, devotion, protection, and sincerity — meanings attached to the stone since antiquity, when its regal purple was reserved for royalty. This makes amethyst a fitting and distinctive choice for a marriage ring, and as the February birthstone it adds personal significance for those born or married in the month. Add complimentary engraving to make the meaning personal.

An amethyst wedding ring is suitable for everyday wear with reasonable care, as amethyst scores 7 on the Mohs scale — durable but softer than sapphire or diamond. A protective setting helps shield the stone, and amethyst should be kept from hard knocks, harsh chemicals, and prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade its color. Clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth; see our jewelry care guide.

The best metal for an amethyst wedding ring is aesthetic preference. White gold and sterling silver keep the purple cool and crisp, yellow gold vermeil adds regal warmth, and rose gold softens it romantically. Genuine 925 sterling silver will not turn skin green. See our precious metal guide.
