This beautiful amethyst net necklace was inspired by ancient times.
Artemis was my favorite Greek goddess while I was growing up because she was one of the first feminists. She was her own woman, a hunter, intelligent and beautiful. The Greek myth surrounding Amethyst is really interesting. The story goes that a beautiful young woman on her way to worship at a temple of Artemis (also called Diana) got in the way of a drunk and angry God, Dionysus. Artemis saw that her disciple was in danger, and turned her into a glittering quartz statue. At the sight of this crystalline woman, Dionysus wept tears of wine, staining the quartz purple. And so was Amethyst created.
