Amethyst derives from the Greek word amethystos meaning ‘not intoxicated’. Medieval soldiers wore the gemstone into battle to protect them and aid them in staying focused. Amethyst is known as the stone of saint valentine, the patron of romantic love who wore an amethyst ring carved with the image of Cupid. In Greek mythology, amethyst was rock crystal dyed purple by the tears of Dionysus. The beautiful purple stone can be seen on our timed auction which finishes on Sunday.

Lot 9, an amethyst and diamond cluster ring is estimated at £500-£550.
