Were you an eager beaver to finish your taxes early so you'd know what you'll have for your tax return? Know someone who has a February birthday and that little government bonus check is now burning a hole in your pocket before you even get it? Well, go ahead and show some restraint, you're just browsing the internet after all, it's not like we're here to tempt you.   February babies are something to be envied, not only do they have a better than average chance to be significantly smarter in school they have one of the most covetous gemstones of them all, the Amethyst.   The Greeks believed that amethyst could relieve the symptoms of drunkenness and the amethyst became associated with the rituals surrounding Dionysus. In fact, the name 'amethyst' is derived from the Greek word, 'a-methustos' to mean 'not intoxicated.'   Amethyst's true hue is purple, but it can sometimes is labeled green-amethyst when green quartz of gem-quality is sold.   Speaking of green, you know who really pulls off the color in a dastardly and refined fashion? February birthday boy, Tom Hiddleston- aka Loki from the blockbuster movies, Thor and Avengers.   Tom Hiddleston was boarding at Eton College by the age of 13 and went on to earn a double first in Classics at Cambridge and graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in 2005. Despite having initially tested for the role of Thor he was cast as Loki by the director, Kenneth Branagh. Most fans would agree this is a delicious role to see this refined English gentleman portray.  

  Happy upcoming birthday to Mr. Hiddleston, but let's get back on track with the color purple so you can find that perfect gift for someone special.   The amethyst is so beautiful that Amidon is lucky to have this simple, white gold, oval amethyst set of earrings, pendant and ring. No additional stones to clutter the beauty or pilfer your pocketbook. Just unadulterated plush, velvety purple.  

  Now, why should ladies have all the fun with their birthstones? Amidon carries a 5 mm titanium flat, tapered ring with brushed metal finish and a single groove that has an amethyst tension set cross.  

This is a unique, custom design ring; you'll need to allow for 12-15 business days for the order to be complete, so don't delay, get your guy's ring sized if you don't know it already and put in your order as soon as possible.
