Amethyst is the birthstone of February, and is said to strengthen relationships and give its wearer courage. At one time, only royalty could wear the gem. Ancient Greeks thought that the amethyst guarded against intoxication. In fact, “amethyst” comes from amethystos, a Greek word meaning “sober.” It is also the gem that married people traditionally gift on their 33rd wedding anniversary.
The Designer
Courtney Durka is a London based designer, recently graduated from BA Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins. During her time at university she studied themes of value within her work, with her graduate collection being an exploration of the perceived value of coins versus their actual worth. She has continued this approach in her practice, inspired by the symbolism of coins and perceived value, within her new collection of work.
