Though emerald may be the “it color” of the season, green amethyst provides a refreshing variation of the color that represents life. Its hue is unlike that of any other stone as it sparkles with a soft green that manages to be both soothing and refreshing all at once. This unique color makes even the most uncomplicated green amethyst styles truly extraordinary.

Pastel-colored gemstone rings are always excellent picks for spring and summer. Stones such as green amethyst, pink sapphire and kunzite are not only on-trend; they provide light-colored sparkle that’s perpetually elegant and refreshing.

Green amethyst rings are particularly refreshing picks for spring and summer. Their soft yet dazzling light green sparkle gorgeously portrays the color of new life, giving off a calming sparkle that somehow manages to be both soothing and full of energy.

For a ring that both display this life-filled color with time-honored, botanically-inspired touches, don’t miss the Vintage Leaf Green Amethyst Ring in 14K White Gold. This feminine piece features a 6mm round topaz and places it on an antique-style band of 14K white gold. A finely-carved leaf motif adorns this band, complementing green amethyst’s ability to portray life and adding a welcome taste of the past. In addition, this ring contains a surprise for the wearer: a tiny heart is hidden in the setting underneath the gemstone, communicating a secret message of affection.

If you’d rather a bolder take on the pastel trend, try one of Apples of Gold’s pink sapphire rings. These pieces strike the perfect balance between bold sparkle and a color that’s long been considered the most girly of hues.

While pink sapphire rings of any kind can add an eye-catching touch to any outfit, if you’re looking for one that will really turn heads (for all the right reasons), try the Asscher-Cut Pink Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring. This show-stopping piece creates a never-fading blossom that can take any outfit from blah to brilliant. A 5mm Asscher-cut pink sapphire forms the center of this flower, immediately drawing the eye, while diamonds serve as sparkling accents. These glittering stones are arranged in two concentric circles, one inner circle of round stones that are spaced tightly together, an outer circle of smaller diamonds that nestle in between their larger counterparts to create the illusion of multiple layers of petals.

If you’re attracted to pink, but would rather wear a shade that’s more subdued than the daring hue of pink sapphire, consider the Vintage Rose Kunzite Ring in 14K White Gold. This Victorian-inspired ring features an 8mm x 10mm oval-shaped kunzite, a soft pink-hued stone with just a touch of violet. Holding this stone is a setting that’s been lavishly carved with floral motifs, both underneath the stone and cascading down the slender band. This lovely ring is fresh and feminine, perfect for the season.

Gemstone rings that feature light-colored stones are an excellent way to wear the pastel trend. In addition to being spot-on stylish today, they’ll still be in good taste for many seasons to come.

When he was 16, St. Patrick was abducted and taken to Ireland, where he was a held captive for six years. During this time, he turned to prayer and became a devout Christian. According to his writings, one night while St. Patrick was praying he heard a voice telling him that he would soon go to his own country. St. Patrick escaped and walked 200 miles to the Irish coast, and eventually returned to his home and family.

Once home in England, St. Patrick began to study for the ministry and sensed God calling him to return to Ireland as a missionary. He heeded this call and, once he was ordained, he headed back to the Emerald Isle, where he sought to share the message of God’s love.

In honor of the real St. Patrick, let’s take a look at three green gemstones—stones in the color of the life that he sought to bring to the Emerald Isle.

Emerald

As one of the four classic precious gemstones, the emerald has been adored for thousands of years. While it’s been used in jewelry for millennia, it’s a particularly stylish pick at present: “Emerald” was named Pantone’s color of the year. The rich green sparkle of emerald jewelry of all kinds brings to mind a lush field of grass after a summer rain. For instance, the Emerald and Diamond Victorian Ring in 14K White Gold emphasizes the timeless beauty of the emerald, placing it in a lavish vintage setting. Pair it or any other emerald ring with the Emerald Stud Earrings in 14K White Gold for a look that’s pulled together and full of life.

Peridot

Peridot has a more golden hue than the emerald, calling to mind a sun-drenched spring day. It, too, has been used in jewelry for thousands of years and was nicknamed the “emerald of the evening” by the Romans for its ability to retain its fresh green color, even in the dim lights that were used after dusk. Peridot jewelry such as the 1.75 Carat Oval Cut Peridot and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold is a lively pick for St. Patrick’s Day.

Green Amethyst

Green amethyst may not be as well-known as emerald or peridot, nor does it have as long a history as a gemstone, but it provides equally intriguing color. Green amethyst jewelry like the Sea-Foam Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold provides an alluring soft green sparkle that’s simultaneously soothing and refreshing.

Pieces that feature emerald, peridot or green amethyst are excellent picks for St. Patrick’s Day. Choose one of these glimmering green stones to symbolize life—and the message of the real St. Patrick.

Jewelry that features green amethyst displays the ideal hue for March. Its gentle green glimmer is both invigorating and soothing as it bursts with the potential of the coming spring.

Green amethyst jewelry is also a fitting pick for St. Patrick’s Day. These rings, earrings and pendants give a softer touch to the traditional color of the season, and would make a lovely gift for your favorite Irish lass—or for any lady who refreshes all those she meets.

Green amethyst gives a soft touch to modern designs, providingg a lively contrast to the bold shapes of these styles. The Trillion-Cut Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring an excellent example. This contemporary look features a 0.75-carat trillion-cut green amethyst, accented by four smaller diamonds in asymmetrical, spirited fashion. The alluring gemstone that serves as the centerpiece for this ring offers the perfect combination of soft glimmer and clean lines.

The subtle sparkle of green amethyst is given a unique, shining frame in the 2.33 Carat Oval Shape Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring in 10K White Gold. This carefully-crafted ring features a three-dimensional chain-like motif that surrounds the center stone—a 10mm-wide oval shaped green amethyst—and adorns the band. On either side of this stone are six diamonds, glimmering from within this unique design.

Although green amethyst is a particularly good choice when you’re looking ahead to spring, it’s lovely any time of year. Apples of Gold’s collection of green amethyst rings contains a number of timeless styles that are excellent choices year round, and that will look just as beautiful a decade or two from now as they do today. For instance, the Green Amethyst Gemstone Solitaire Ring in 14K White Gold is a true classic that’s given a soft, lush personality through the presence of an unexpected gemstone.

The Sea-Foam Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold is a striking timeless style that’s fitting for the finger of a fairytale princess. However, it’s just as suited for the finger of any modern lady. This dazzling ring puts a sizeable oval-shaped green amethyst, 10mm high, on display and surrounds it with a frame of sparkling round diamonds. Additional round diamonds stud the slender band that holds this stone, for a total of over a third carat of these glimmering accent gems.

Whether as a sign of spring, a celebration of St. Patrick’s Day or just a beautiful statement, jewelry that features green amethyst is a lovely pick. Its gentle yet lively sparkle is perfect for the first days of March or any day you want to add a touch of spring to your look.

In addition to their one-of-a-kind beauty, each of these semiprecious stones is a relatively affordable choice. And, any one of them can infuse fresh life into time-honored styles, giving them an eye-catching edge.

Smokey quartz is has a slightly mysterious appeal that lives up to its name. This variety of quartz has a cool brownish hue that brings to mind a smoldering campfire on a crisp fall evening. Smokey quartz rings aren’t only for fall, however. Their subtle, sophisticated color works well in any season, complementing both the deep, rich shades of the cooler months and the lighter looks of summer. While we know that the out-of-the-ordinary look of this stone is due to free silicon within this gem, a result of natural radiation, it never ceases to intrigue all who see it.

The understated color of smokey topaz allows even sizeable specimens of this stone to maintain a subtle, classy allure. For instance, the Cushion-Cut 3.52 Carat Smoky Topaz and Diamond Ring proudly displays a 9mm cushion-cut smokey topaz, accented by .40 carats of glittering diamonds, including 14 diamonds that form a frame around this ring’s main attraction. The contrast created by the two gems in this ring seems to add to its intrigue.

Kunzite was discovered in California a little over a century ago, making it a relative newcomer to the jewelry scene. This pale pink stone, a member of the spodumen family, has just a hint of violet and a soft sparkling nature that makes it a lovely choice for feminine styles. For instance, the Vintage Rose Kunzite Ring in 14K White Gold places a sizeable but demure oval-shaped kunzite in a stunning Victorian-inspired setting that’s lavishly adorned with intricately carved flowers. This lush 14K white gold setting elevates the stone it holds like a crown, putting its unique glimmer on display.

While most of us are familiar with the purple variety of amethyst, green amethyst is relatively unknown. That’s a shame, because this gem exhibits a cool, soft green that’s unmatched by any other stone. Green amethyst rings offer a soothing yet invigorating sparkle that’s as refreshing as the first crocus popping up through the snow.

Sea-Foam Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold features a dazzling 2.80 carat green amethyst, 10mm high, surrounded by smaller diamonds in a loop that frames this oval-shaped center stone. A slender band studded with additional diamonds provides an extra measure of sparkle. While this style isn’t complicated, the unique gem it contains sets it apart and makes it truly memorable.

There’s no need to be ordinary when it comes to your jewelry! Don’t miss these three unique gemstones to express your one-of-a-kind sense of style.

Purple amethyst may get most of the attention, but its green sibling has plenty to offer. Its light, slightly minty green may initially hide the fact that it’s a variety of a stone often associated with royalty, but its poised personality gives it away. Green amethyst’s cool color is both soothing and lively, making it an ideal gem for the time of year when we look for rest and energy after the busyness of the holidays.

If you’re looking for a classic style with a twist, look no further than timeless solitaires and three-stone styles set with green amethyst. For instance, Apples of Gold’s Green Amethyst Gemstone Solitaire Ring in 14K White Gold exhibits a time-honored design that will never fall out of fashion, but with a unique green sparkle that sets it apart.

The Vintage Leaf Green Amethyst Ring in 14K White Gold offers a reminder that spring that will eventually come, not only through its refreshing color but also through the delicate leaf motif that’s expertly engraved into the band. This elegant design harkens to times past and brings to mind a time when life didn’t move at such a breakneck pace. The 8mm round green amethyst featured in this ring adds a lush splash of color, while a heart hidden in the setting underneath this stone gives this ring a secret touch of romance. It’s perfect for sending a message about the love that you share.

If a classic style with a fresh color palate sounds appealing, don’t miss the Sea-Foam Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold. This ring would be just as at home on the finger of a princess as it would be on your own. A sizeable 2.80 carat green amethyst, a full centimeter high, is accented by a ring of small, sparkling diamonds and held by a diamond-encrusted band. Although this ring is eye-catching, its gentle color assures that it never needs to shout to garner attention.

If you’d like to add a bit of spring-like color to more than just your finger, try adding a pair of green amethyst earrings such as the Green Amethyst and Diamonds Heart Shape Earrings in 10K White Gold. This pair surrounds 4mm green amethyst hearts with diamonds and drops them just below your earlobes for a lighthearted touch of cool glimmer. These earrings would make a lovely gift for someone who refreshes your heart.

Any of these green amethyst rings or earrings will refresh your look in the coldest days of winter with a reminder that spring will eventually come. Their ability to symbolize life and vitality no matter what the weather makes them winning picks for January and well into the spring.

Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”

 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

 “Glory to God in the highest,

And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

It’s because of this this gift of peace 2,000 years ago that we can have true peace in our hearts and in our relationships with others. The unique color of green amethyst conveys the nature of this peace—it’s both calming to the heart and invigorating to the soul.

The Sea-Foam Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold showcases green amethyst with princess-worthy style. A 2.80 carat oval-shaped green amethyst is accented by 34 glittering diamonds that both encircle the center stone and adorn the band, creating a mesmerizing style.

If you’d prefer to wear this uniquely soothing gemstone around your neck, consider the 1 Carat Three Stone Green Amethyst Necklace in 14K White Gold. This timelessly beautiful piece takes the three-stone style that’s long been popular in gemstone rings and turns it into a simple but gorgeously glimmering necklace.

Vintage styles can call to mind a more peaceful era, as demonstrated by the Vintage Leaf Green Amethyst Ring in 14K White Gold. This Victorian-inspired design may appear as a simple solitaire from a distance, but upon closer examination it reveals two surprises: a leaf motif delicately carved into the band and a heart under the setting that elevates a sparkling 8mm green amethyst.

The 6mm x 4mm Pear Shaped Green Amethyst and Diamond Flower Earrings in 14K White Gold adds a touch of soothing green to your ears and would serve as a lovely complement to any other piece of green amethyst jewelry.  This pair of pear-shaped green amethysts are surrounded by a total of 26 round diamonds, creating a look that seems to blossom, even during the coldest time of year.

Garnet is an unexpected but stunning choice for engagement rings. The deep red of this semiprecious gemstone is a natural symbol of love, and pieces that feature heart-shaped garnets play off of this connection to affection. For instance, the Vintage Filigree Garnet Heart Ring in 14K White Gold places a centimeter-high scarlet heart within a Victorian setting that emulates romance.

Tanzanite rings feature a stone that’s found only in one small area of the world, just five miles square.

For instance, three alluring oval-shaped tanzanite stones are accented with six channel-set diamonds in the Three Stone Tanzanite and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold, creating a look with a sense of rare beauty

Green amethyst is another out-of the ordinary stone that’s perfect for representing a love like no other. Its refreshing light green color is both full of life and mesmerizingly soothing, perfect for the one who makes you come alive and who sets your heart at ease.
