✩Amethyst Mythology, Legends, Lore and History✩
*Amethyst is a naturally purple coloured variety of Quartz.
*The Amethyst's meaning is spiritual growth and protection.
*These beautiful healing crystals are also known for bringing clarity of the mind to the owner. By wearing or using Amethyst crystals, you can become more in tune with your own feelings and get to know your inner self on a much deeper level. It is a gemstone which can bring you calmness, inner peace and is thought to heighten your natural intuition.
*Amethyst is renown for its ability to reduce addictive traits. The name amethyst is derived from the ancient Greek word “amethustos”, which translates to “not drunk”. In ancient times goblets made of amethyst or in the colour purple were thought to hinder inebriation.
*Amethyst is the stone of St. Valentine and of faithful lovers because St. Valentine was thought to have worn an Amethyst ring engraved with the image of Cupid.
"Amethyst is the Birthstone for Feburary and the Zodiac stone for both Aquarius and Pisces.

✩Carnelian Mythology, Legends, Lore and History✩
*Carnelian is the name given to one of the numerous varieties of Agate/Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. Its name comes from the River Acate in Sicily, where Agates were first found. Called the earth rainbow, the concentric bands of Agate form in nearly every colour the earth can produce.
*Historically, The ancient Egyptians called Carnelian "the setting sun." In its orange hues, they identified it with the receptive or passive female energies, and associated it with the fertile goddess, Isis. In its red, red-orange to reddish brown shades, they considered it the active male energy stone, recognised by its glowing vibrant colour. Carnelian is traditionally worn to enhance passion, love, and desire.
*Carnelian is the Zodiac stone for Virgo's.

✩Variations/findings✩
These earrings come with a hand forged scroll style ear-wire (as pictured) which are suitable for pierced ears, they are lightly hammered for texture and strength.
*These earring hoop style ear-wires can be worn through gauged tunnels, I have tried this style of ear-wire trough my own 8mm metal tunnels and they hang fine and look lovely.

For a small extra charge, I can replace the current ear-wires with:
*non-pierced/clip-on findings
*real 9ct Rose Gold Plated on to solid 925 Sterling Silver ear-wires, in a "fish/shepherds" hook style ear-wire.

Jewellery: Care Instructions

Jewellery should be the last thing you put on the first thing you take off.
Always avoid getting hair products, perfume or chemicals (chemicals can include household cleaning products, some foods such as Lemons or vinegar)
General Advice:
Any metal be-it Sterling Silver, base metals or plated alloys can become dull or tarnished. As a general rule don't get it wet, if you do, dry and polish with a soft cloth. If it goes dull or tarnished, a gentle polish with a non-abrasive Silver cloth will bring it's lustre back. Gems or beads can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth to restore their original lustre.
Certain precious or semi-precious stone may require special care, I will include the information in the items full description or care leaflet.
