The origin of amethyst name and even explanation for some of it's healing properties have been founded in the Greek mythology surrounding this semi-precious stone. Amethyst's origin resides with the god Dionysus (Bacchus) and the goddess Diana. Dionysus, the god of wine, celebration, intoxication and joviality, found insult by a mortal who had refused him acknowledgement. Enraged with anger Dionysus vowed to unleash his fury upon all mortals who did not partake in his gifts of wine and drunkenness. He immediately spotted a young maiden named Amethyst who was pure and unfamiliar with being intoxicated. The unsuspecting young virgin, who was on her way to pay homage to the goddess Diana, was detained by the wrathful god. Dionysus summoned two fiercely voracious tigers to devour the youth and sat back with his wine to watch. Amethyst cried out to Diana. When Diana saw what was about to transpire she quickly transformed the young mortal into a glimmering pure white stone (quartz) to protect her from the vicious wrath of Dionysus. Moved with pity Dionysus realized the ruthlessness of his actions and began to weep with sorrow. As the tears dripped into his goblet Dionysus collapsed and the tear-tainted wine ran out onto the stone from the tipped cup. The white stone then absorbed the color from the wine creating the stone now called amethyst.
Amethyst Legends
Because of the legend of the origin of amethyst mentioned above, it was also believed that amethyst jewelry, gems or goblets made people immune to the intoxicating effects of alcohol. It is considered an ideal stone for those struggling or recovering from alcoholism or those who seek to drink without getting intoxicated. The works of amethyst, a gem associated with easing transition, have been cited through legendary conclusion. It has been popularly believed that amethyst also aides the soul that journeys through to another dimension by guiding it through realms where visibility is low. It is also said to aide those souls left behind or those struggling. An Amethyst Sky exists when a deep lilac/muave color fills the sky as the transition from day to night begins. This takes place only on certain nights in the evening after dusk.

Dish soap is your best option. It is non-abrasive and will not scratch up your jewelery. I have a personal jeweler who fixes my stuff and also makes originals for me and this is what he recommends. This is good for everything except pearls. Pearls should be wiped down with a jewlery cloth. Don't wear any of your jewlery until you're done puttin on hairspray, make up etc…

depending on how pure it is an ounce can be over 1,000 dollars so you can get about 3000 dollars but it still depends on the purity.
try looking on the jewelry television website.

First of all that's really sweet. Secondly any gem will work in a promise ring as long as you put thought into it. I am not sure of the price , but since you want it custom made you might want to see a jeweler.
The price of custom jewelry can vary. Visit a couple small local jewelers and compare prices. Some big jewelry stores may do the custom design but it will probably be very expensive.
The ring you like isn't what I would consider a promise ring. Most promise rings I've seen are very simple and understated. Bob Siemon Designs has promise rings for men and women. Bob Siemon Designs isn't cheap but the jewelry is really nice.
not really nope

I think earrings, necklace, bracelet and ring together would look a bit too much. Choose jewelry according to your dress. I think earrings, bracelet and a ring should do. Or choose any of the 2 from the whole lot that you have mentioned. I believe in the policy of 'sometimes less is more.' And i would anytime go for diamonds if given a chance. For bracelet, try something like
For earrings,
These are some of my favorites. Check them out!
Good Luck and Congratulations!
yes – if you bought an amethyst, it didn't magically turn into a diamond. maybe find out why it was so important to her to have a diamond – maybe she wanted "traditional" or maybe she didn't want to have to answer "What stone is that?" a million times. I doubt that her changing the stone means she loves you any less, but you need to let her know that lying about it isn't cool.
