Uruguayan Amethyst 12.9 ct

For the Oregon Shakespeare Festival Tudor Guild
Idleness in Love Design and Faceting by Jeffrey Hunt

Uruguayan Amethyst with ranges of Ametrine. Overall, a beautiful strong lighter purple shows through with precise clarity. This gem was designed for The Tudor Guild in Ashland Oregon and the design is inspired by the magical flower potion in Shakespeare’s Midsummer’s Night’s Dream.

“Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before, milk-white; now purple with love’s wound:
And maidens call it “love-in-idleness.”

William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, act 2, sc. 1.

Payment to be made to The Tudor Guild, Ashland Oregon with all proceeds to benefit the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
