February jewelry ideas
Dainty pendant necklace
A small amethyst solitaire or bezel pendant on a fine chain is the most popular February birthstone gift: easy to wear, easy to size, and usually under $60 in sterling silver or gold vermeil.
Birthstone ring
At 7 on the Mohs scale, amethyst is tough enough for an everyday ring.
Stacking or charm bracelet
Add a amethyst charm to a bracelet, or choose a chain bracelet with tiny set stones. It's a nice way to add a stone for each new family member.
Flower + stone pieces
Many makers combine the violet with a amethyst, like an engraved violet disc with a stone charm. These make the most personal February gift.
Buying tips
- Natural, lab-created or simulated: natural and lab-created stones are real gems. "Simulated" or "-ite" names usually mean glass or cubic zirconia.
- Metal: look for solid 14k gold, sterling silver (925) or gold vermeil. Avoid unmarked "gold-tone" pieces for daily wear.
- Care: Fine for everyday wear. Keep it out of long, direct sunlight, which can fade the color.
- Alternatives: For a budget version, look for lab-created amethyst.

Questions, answered
What jewelry has the February birthstone?
February's birthstone is amethyst. Popular pieces are pendant necklaces, stud earrings, rings and charm bracelets.
Is lab-created amethyst real?
Lab-created gems have the same chemistry and look as mined ones and cost less. They're a great choice for birthstone jewelry. Just make sure the listing says "lab-created" rather than "simulated," which means glass or a different stone.
What metal goes with amethyst?
Yellow gold warms up amethyst, while white gold, platinum and sterling silver look crisp and modern. Match the metal to the jewelry the wearer already has.
