The whole east was flecked / With flashing streaks and shafts of amethyst,While a light crimson mist / Went up before the mounting luminary,

Accidents of history continually change the cost of amethyst. Usually affordable only to royalty in ancient Egypt, a large mineral discovery near Aswan allowed ordinary citizens to own this gemstone. (Jewelry began showing up in non-royalty burial sites.)
In recent history, large deposits of amethyst found in Brazil and Africa have made the stone affordable for casual jewelry.
Unless otherwise stated, all metals are sterling silver.
