Name: Spiral Ring with 5mm Amethyst
SKU: 613203

This ring incorporates a delicate swirl of silver emanating out from a sparkling gemstone, before wrapping back on itself as it falls around the side of the band. The 5mm Spiral ring is flashier than its daintier sisters, but still has a slender band designed to nestle closely with one or more accompanying rings.

This sparkly amethyst and sterling silver ring is handcrafted and made to order. Wear it by itself, or customize a stack of skinny bands and coordinating gemstone rings - the possibilities to mix and match are endless.

In Greek mythology, the nymph Amethystos refused the attentions of Dionysus, the god of wine and intoxication. Thus, in ancient times, the gem which bears her name was believed to ward off drunkenness. It is also believed to increase intuition and psychic abilities, and is used in meditation to promote a clarity of vision and clear-thinking.

Because of amethyst's rich royal color, in medieval Europe it was associated with monarchs and the rich and powerful. Amethyst is a variety of quartz and occurs in shades ranging from lavender to deep violet.

Amethyst is the birthstone for February, as well as the traditional gift for a 6th wedding anniversary.

Inspiration: The "marvelous spiral" - spira mirabilis - the epitome of mathematics in nature. In geometry, a logarithmic spiral represents regular repeated growth.
