AMETHYST has long said to be the bridge that connects the concrete with the divine. This stone is said to have such grounding properties, it could actually bring someone back to their senses from being drunk. Drunken behavior is often associated with a clouded mind and impulsive decisions. Therefore, amethyst is associated with crystal clear clarity, deep contemplation, and a better sense of control.

ABOUT 14k GOLD FILLED:
*Gold filled is the next level and is an amazing, quality alternative to solid gold
*It is actual layers of gold pressure bonded with other jeweler quality metals. While gold plating can eventually wear off, gold filled is required by law to contain 5% gold (plated is more like .5%) and it’s therefore extremely uncommon to wear through gold filled
*If you can wear gold jewelry without skin sensitivity, you can most likely wear gold filled!
*During the mid to late Victorian period, gold filled jewelry was very common and was manufactured in large numbers.
