Embrace the Royal Charm of February's Birthstone: Amethyst


In the realm of gemstones, February's birthstone, Amethyst, reigns supreme as a symbol of royalty and clarity. This regal gem has captured hearts for centuries with its mesmerizing purple hue and fascinating history.

History and Meaning:

  • The name "Amethyst" is derived from the Greek word "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated." This name reflects the ancient belief that Amethyst could protect against drunkenness.
  • Medieval European royalty adorned themselves with Amethyst to signify power and protection.
  • Symbolizing clarity and calmness, Amethyst is cherished as a talisman for inner peace and spiritual growth. It is associated with deep love, happiness, humility, sincerity, and wealth.
  • Amethyst is the official gemstone for the 6th and 9th wedding anniversaries.

 

Gemstone Characteristics:

  • Scientifically classified as a purple variety of quartz, Amethyst derives its signature color from trace amounts of iron.

  • Known for its transparency and durability, Amethyst scores 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, which means it’s highly scratch resistant and perfect for crafting jewelry that stands the test of time.

 

Care & Cleaning Instructions:

  • To maintain the beauty of Amethyst jewelry, gently clean it with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush.

  • Avoid exposing Amethyst to harsh chemicals, extreme heat, or direct sunlight to prevent color fading.

MEET THE BRACELET HELPER - A Jewelry Game-Changer

Lafonn bracelet* purchases will now include a complimentary bracelet helper. 💎 Because putting on your favorite bracelet should be easy for everyone!
 


How it works:

Designed as a convenient aid, the bracelet helper enables effortless self-fastening of bracelets by securely holding one end, allowing users to easily manage even the smallest clasps independently.

Who it helps:
Everyone! The tool is particularly helpful for people who have difficulty manipulating small objects or clasps due to arthritis, limited dexterity, or other hand-related issues.

How to use the bracelet helper:
1. First, open the security lock located at the bottom of the bracelet clasp's cage.
2. Attach the bracelet helper's clip to the end of your bracelet, the end without the clasp.
3. Hold the tool in the hand that the bracelet is going on with the bracelet hanging over your wrist.
4. Use your other hand to bring the bracelet clasp around the clip.
5. Insert the bracelet tongue in the clasp until you hear a click.
6. Close the security lock.

"I created Lafonn with the mission to empower women through beautifully crafted, affordable jewelry - and that includes making it accessible for women of all abilities to wear.

As someone who has been living with rheumatoid arthritis for 20+ years, it is my hope that you will find our bracelet helper as useful as I have."

Sincerely,

Molly Wang

Lafonn Founder & CEO
