The gemstone known as amethyst, historically referred to as the "Royal Stone," derives its name from its distinctive and deep purple coloration, a hue traditionally associated with power, nobility, and spirituality. This prestigious gemstone has been primarily worn by royalty and the elite throughout history, which accounts for its notable presence in royal collections worldwide. From the elaborate jewelry adorning ancient Egyptian pharaohs to its inclusion in contemporary ceremonies involving the British Crown Jewels, amethyst has consistently symbolized wealth and status over the centuries. The Secret de Cassis Necklace, with its exquisite and captivating design, exemplifies the significant role of the "Royal Stone" in a modern and sophisticated context.
