Amethyst jewellery: older accessories are proving very popular

Fashion-conscious women are being encouraged to go out with the old and in with the older, which could mean that amethyst jewellery has a revival.

A report for Jewellery Magazine said that a slow but steady revolution is currently taking place, with loud, chunky and embellished items disappearing, to be replaced by vintage items.

"Since the beginning of the millennium, fashion jewellery has been heavily influenced by the boho-chic fashion movement. It all started when style pioneers decided to revisit the hippie influences of the 1960s, taking to the streets in flouncy skirts, coin belts, furry vests and cowboy boots," the news source stated, adding that poster girls for the fashion mode included trendsetting starlets Sienna Miller and Ashley Olsen.

The report went on to say that earthy hues are coming back into trend, with cintrine and smoky quartz proving popular alongside amethyst jewellery.

Recently, ProfesionalJeweller.com, said that coloured stones with warm tones, such as amethyst will be popular this year.
