In the purple
6 08 2008
Dear Leslie,
My sister’s favorite color is purple, and I’d like to buy her some purple jewelry for her birthday, which is coming up. Believe me, she has enough amethyst - what else can you recommend?

Dear Dee,
While amethyst is the best-known purple stone, there are a number of others to choose from. Tanzanite, one of the most newly-discovered gemstones, is an excellent stone. Since its discovery in Tanzania (guess how they picked the name?) in the late 1960s, it’s been cherished for its pale blue-violet hue, which is shown off marvelously in this tanzanite and diamond white gold ring. This is a sure bet to delight all purple-lovers - and all jewelry lovers!
