I wonder if everyone would like to join in and give their opinion on their favourite amethyst jewel?
It doesn't have to be a "grand" jewel, much less a royal or otherwise well known jewel.
So many of the well known "grand" amethyst jewels are, in my opinion, very ordinary stylistically -- that is they have large stones surrounded by diamonds in a typically classical design.
Of the "grand" jewels which I know of, the Travistock tiara, belonging to the Duke of Bedford, is an exception, and so it is one I find note worthy.
Are amethysts used by modern jewellers? If so, how?
What are noteworthy amethyst jewels -- either modern or old?
