Ummmmmmmmmm this is not amethyst. i know cause it is my birthstone. i am not trying to ruin your auction but thought that i would correct you on your color there.
Carolyn, I have a amethyst necklace and earrings as well, It is a purple stone, but I actually think this is even prettier...perhaps you would say violet. Its a brighter stone. Anyway, thanks for commenting.
No, not red enough for rubies. :) It's a beautiful set with sparkling cz stones that sparkle like diamonds in between the amethyst/purple/violet beautiful stones. It's a beautiful set. I am parting with it because I have too much jewelry. More sales to come next week!
