How Much is a Amethyst Heart Ring?
The Legacy of Amethyst in Jewelry Design
There are few gemstones in the world that are both affordable and worthy of a duchess’s attention. But then not many stones are as beautiful as amethyst. Indeed, vintage and antique amethyst jewelry has innumerable fans, and February’s birthstone has many unique attributes. For the romantics, there are several tales in Greek mythology that tell the story of Bacchus and Amethyste, a maiden that he pursues yet is rescued by Diane by turning her into a white stone. Bacchus, mourning his love, pours a glass of wine over the sculpture, dyeing her purple.
Amethyst has adorned many royal jewels. One of the most enviable jewelry collections of all time belonged to Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor. In 1947, the Duke gifted her with a Cartier amethyst and turquoise bib necklace. This special order piece was made with twisted 18-carat and 20-carat gold, platinum, brilliant- and baguette-cut diamonds, one heart-shaped faceted amethyst, 27 emerald-cut amethysts, one oval faceted amethyst, and turquoise cabochons. The Duchess was not the only Royal with a penchant for the purple gemstone. The tiara now owned by Queen Silvia of Sweden is set with amethysts that once belonged to the French Empress Josephine. A stunning 56-carat cushion-cut, square-shaped amethyst set in an 18-karat yellow gold necklace designed by Tiffany & Co. is now in the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
The Smithsonian also has in its possession an even more rare example of fine amethyst: the 96-carat Morris Amethyst Brooch. The brooch features a deep, rich purple heart-shaped amethyst. The museum states that the piece was likely made during the Edwardian period (1901–15) “when platinum and diamonds were often used, and amethyst, a favorite stone of King Edward VII’s wife, Alexandra, was often included in jewelry of the era.”
Another amethyst necklace, with an even richer story, can be found in the Natural History Museum of London. Known as the Delhi Purple Sapphire (even though the stone is an amethyst), this stone was stolen from the Temple of Indra during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Anyone in possession of this stone is bound to have terrible luck, including its owner Edward Heron-Allen, who gifted the gemstone to the museum thinking that this would save him but ended up transferring the bad luck to the museum curators overseeing the stone.

- Are amethyst rings durable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not amethyst rings are durable is largely a matter of how you define the term. Amethysts have a hardness rating of 7, making them resistant to scratching. However, you can still damage an amethyst ring if you wear it while performing household chores or engaging in intense physical activity. Shop a selection of amethyst gemstone rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021How much an amethyst stone ring is worth depends on the origin, cut, color, clarity, shine, shape and certificate it carries. In general, the price of an amethyst gemstone can range from $2.74 per carat to $16.44 per carat and much more depending on the quality combination specified. Find a collection of antique and vintage amethyst rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021An amethyst ring is good for an engagement ring. Its Mohs hardness of 7 means it's good for everyday wear, but will show wear over the years. The choice in engagement ring stone is a personal choice.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Whether you wear a heart ring facing you is a matter of personal preference. Some people wear the point of the heart toward their wrists if they are engaged or married and away from them if they're single. However, not everyone follows this practice. Shop a collection of heart rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A heart-shaped ring is a symbol of love. When wearing a diamond-shaped ring, the point should point to your wrist, which lets others know you’ve given your heart to your soulmate. Shop a collection of heart-shaped jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023To tell if a Chrome Hearts ring is real, first examine the inside. On an authentic ring, you'll find hallmarks signifying the material and the year of production. The numbers should be crisp, clear and evenly spaced. Next, look at the edge of the ring. Most Chrome Hearts rings have the brand name engraved there. Check that the font matches that of the official logo and that the spelling is correct. If you're questioning the authenticity of a piece, a knowledgeable appraiser or dealer can also assist you. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Chrome Hearts jewelry.
