Bridal Jewellery UK -About Amethyst

According to tales of olden times, amethyst was formed whenever Dionysus, who is the Greek god of revelry and wine, once received an insult from a mortal. He said that he would exact reprisal on the next mortal he laid eyes on and created violent tigers to carry it out. The mortal he saw was a gorgeous youthful lady called Amethyst. Right at the time Dionysus started to carry out his threat, a different goddess, Diana, turned Amethyst into a a crystalline statuette. The moment that Dionysus saw the stunning statue, he cried and his tears were made of wine, staining the statue purple and creating amethyst. In light of the colour, amethyst oftentimes symbolises royalty. Amethyst can be found within the crown jewels of early Egypt, modern England and czarist Russia.
