Here is another unique way to wear amethyst. The briolette cut. Briolette is when the gemstone is faceted on all sides, not just the bottom. It kind of looks like a gem pineapple & was very popular in vintage jewelry. Briolette is the perfect cut for amethyst, because you can get it very inexpensively & is often used on amethyst gemstones. It’s a unique way to wear your birthstone so you don’t end up with that one birthstone ring. You know the one I’m talking about, the one that you can buy in gas stations in fake gold. This is a way to show your personality & learn to love amethyst.
