February - Amethyst Birthstone

The name 'amethyst' comes from the ancient Greek word amethystos that means 'not intoxicated'. In ancient times it was thought that if a person drank alcohol from a cup made from amethyst they would not get drunk. Hmmm...so now we know - Cheers!

(Amethyst - also the birthstone for February)

I love buying jewelry and collecting vintage pieces. Look closely, my bracelet was once a bicycle chain - how cool is that! I met the designer at the QE show last year, and she blew me away with her ethics and designs...and get this - she was still in High School.

I wear this often and it's quite the conversation piece. 

...And as I keen cyclist and recycler, it ticks all the boxes.
