Happy birthday to the February born babies! Van Scoy Diamonds loves to carry this beautiful purple gemstone in their inventory, which works out great for anyone who has this vibrant jewel as their birthstone. Here are some famous celebs which share your birth month. Did you know people born in the early part of the year are get a leg up in school and are generally graded as more intelligent? Well talent certainly isn't lacking for these celebs who are celebrating their birthday this month. Erykah Badu and Tom Hiddleston are great examples of talented, artistic and very beautiful February birthday babies. Erykah Badu, born Erica Abi Wright, is a talented musician with no formal, academic accreditation, but says that she produces her music entirely by ear. Tom Hiddleston was boarding at Eton College by the age of 13 and went on to earn a double first in Classics at Cambridge and graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in 2005. Despite having initially tested for the role of Thor he was cast as Loki. Most fans would agree this is a delicious role to see this refined, English gentleman portray. The amethyst has a rich history dating back to Greek and Egyptian times. It was worn during the celebrations of Bacchus and was believed to help cure drunkenness, which is important as those festivals focused on celebrating the god of wine along with other frivolities. The Egyptians believed that the amethyst brought calmness as well as helping the bearer have good luck and favor with their petitions to those in authority. One of Van Scoy Diamond's most popular designers is Greg Anthony whose work is featured in the Metal Marketplace. There is no shortage of precious gemstone pieces for you to choose from. Here are some intricate sterling silver and 18K, amethyst drop earrings paired next to an adjustable 8 ½ inch sterling silver, link charm bracelet with toggle clasps. If you like your jewelry to be less about the setting and more about the gemstone then you'll be sure to love this genuine amethyst and diamond pendant. The diamonds are delicate points of light next to this bold amethyst center stone.
