De Grisogono has “reinvented” the language of love for Valentine’s Day with the enchanting and captivating charm of “amorous amethysts”.

This sumptuous mineral glows at the heart of the Valentine’s collections from de Grisogon’s founder and Creative Designer Fawaz Gruosi who says the stone’s history “is strongly symbolic of eternal love” in reference to Saint Valentine, who, legend says, wore a ring adorned with an amethyst engraved with the image of Cupid.

The collection includes:

• A unique high jewelry necklace in pink gold featuring 39 oval cabochon-cut amethysts, 39 oval cabochon garnets, 39 pear-shaped tourmalines, 24 pink sapphires and 1,058 brown diamonds:
• A Gooce ring from the Gooce Collection, in pink gold set with four amethyst drops of 15 carats, in which the finely sculpted amethysts reveal their purple nuances in polished pink gold teardrops.

“The amethyst is one of my favourite precious stones. Its beauty transcends its so-called common nature. With its distinctive style, it evokes elegance and mystery. Its magnetic aura is pleasing to the eye and pulls at the heart strings; it is as intriguing as it is fascinating. This seductive stone embodies passion and true love,” says Gruosi.

“When cabochon-cut, the amethyst expresses its generosity and sensuality while revealing its internal depth. That is why I chose the cabochon cut to adorn one of my first creations using an amethyst,” he concludes.
