Item description for Amethyst Gold Nose Stud 9k Gold 3mm Devotion Gemstone 22g (0.6mm) Ball End Stud

This colourful quartz has been one of the most prized gemstones for centuries. This lively quartz stone varies in colour from no distinguishable colour to light lavender, to a rich deep purple.

According to Ancient Greek mythology, this gemstone was said to be dyed by the tears of the god Dionysus. Though the tale was a bit convoluted, the stone was ultimately identified with the concept of purity. According to myth the god Dionysus, known for his fondness of drink, was seeking an object upon which to vent his frustration when a young girl crossed his path.

The maiden was on her way to worship at the temple of the goddess Diana. When the young woman cried out to the goddess for help, the goddess turned her into a quartz, a shimmering white stone.

When the drunken Dionysus realized what he had done, he began crying into his goblet of wine. This caused the goblet to overturn. The red wine in the god’s cup ran over the stone and was believed to dye the quartz purple.

The amethyst has been used in royal jewellery across the centuries, as the colour purple has been used to symbolize royalty. You can find stunning examples of this purple quartz in the royal jewels worn by the English monarchy. There are also exceptional examples of these stones in the collections of Bavarian, Norwegian, and Luxembourg royal jewellery collections.

Those of the Christian faith have also used the amethyst as a symbol. Believed to symbolize Christ, the amethyst has been worn historically in Bishop rings.

Gauge is abbreviated g.

Gauge sizes are usually a number followed by g or the word gauge.

Gauge sizes work in reverse, meaning that higher numbers (like 16 gauge)

are thinner than smaller numbers (like a 6 gauge).

This smaller-is-bigger and bigger-is-smaller rule of thumb is counterintuitive,

so you'll have to actively remember that fact.

When discussing gauges, a larger gauge means bigger around,

but it is expressed with a smaller number.

If you're told that you need a larger gauge than 14, you need to look at 12 or 10, not at 16

We advise you sterilise before you wear and

item a good clean regularly

If your item is on a tie cord please note this is for
