I’ve only ever seen that color one other time. I was at an international jewelry show and spotted a Victorian intaglio amethyst bracelet set in yellow gold. I asked to see it, looked at it for 2-3 minutes, set it down and moved on. 20 minutes later I stopped myself and was like, what are you doing, you’ll never see that quality ever again. I rushed back to get it and swallowed my heart when I was told an Italian jeweler standing behind me had bought it instantly the second I let go of it! That was 26 years ago. To this day, I think about my mistake often and have been searching (so far in vain), for that bracelet everywhere I go ever since, it’s doubtful I will ever find it, despite the fact I see hundreds of pieces of jewelry every single day!!

For my 16th birthday my Grandmother sent me a
heart shaped Siberian Amethyst set in yellow gold. I still treasure it today.

Good god, this brooch is not only unique, it's one of the most beautiful jewels I have ever seen.
Excuse my exclamation, but that is how this piece of Fabergé effected me. As a man, I would wear this Artwork on a Tuxedo lapel.

Siberian amethyst used to be the most popular gem for wedding rings in (and around) Russia, my grandma had a BIG purple wedding ring.
