A sampling of the beautiful minerals we have collected during travels over the years past. We hand cut these and other rocks into cabochons and inlays which we incorporate into our handmade jewelry at the Bowman Originals Workshop in Sarasota, Fl.

Caring for Amethyst Gemstones, Cabochons, and Jewelry

AMETHYST IS DURABLE, BUT STILL NEEDS CARE

As with aquamarine, prolonged exposure to heat and light can cause the color to fade. The intensity of purple amethyst can vary depending on the part of the crystal. Amethyst is a durable gemstone, but some care is required to maintain its natural brilliance and color.

Amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale and is generally considered good enough to make almost any kind of jewelry. Accidental scratches or abrasions from other gemstones of the same or higher hardness can damage it.

STORE YOUR AMETHYST IN A SECURE JEWELRY BOX

It is best not to wear amethyst jewelry during an activity or in places where this may happen. Long-term storage of amethyst and amethyst jewelry is best stored in jewelry boxes or other shaded places. Amethyst usually exhibits a gamut of colors, with the most intense color usually appearing at the ends of the crystal.

Consider the Cabochon Prior to the lapidary art of faceting, gems were mostly cut and shaped into cabochons: the smooth and convex polishing of gemstones. Opaque gemstones, softer stones and those with inclusions that are characteristic are still featured this way. I enjoy the ‘feel’ of gemstones. To some folk, tactility is still an important characteristic and cabochons give those sensations freely. Cool cabochons and rounded gemstone beads make wearing them almost therapeutic, in the sense that touch… is an important facet of life. #cabochon #gemstones #vintagejewelry #handmadejewelry #lapidaryarts #shopcavallofinejewelry (at Cavallo Fine Jewelry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKbWd8nbAr/?utm_medium=tumblr
