February feels like a pause between winter and spring — a time for reflection, calm, and inner renewal. And fittingly, its birthstone, Amethyst, is all about peace, clarity, and spiritual strength.
With its soothing violet hues and rich history, Amethyst has long been cherished as a stone of wisdom and balance. It’s one of those gems that feels both regal and grounding — elegant enough for royalty, yet deeply connected to mindfulness and emotional healing.
At Oberia Jewelry, we love Amethyst for the calm it brings — a quiet reminder to protect your energy and trust your intuition.
