Amethyst wedding rings - should I be concerned about sun discoloring?
I've been toying with the thought an amethyst wedding ring for my fiancee. This seems to be more common than I'd expected, but I've read that long periods of sunlight can discolor one that is natural and dye free. Anyone have empirical knowledge on this?
We're in Southern California, so lots of sunlight is to be expected. Does this apply to something as small as a wedding ring as much as it does to like, a full crystal?
Yes, they do fade and amethyst is fairly tough but it could easily chip. You should not heat clean them as they can be damaged by extreme changes in temperature. You may want to look at a garnet they come in a large color range - even a deep purplish red - and are more durable.
