The Origin of Amethyst

Amethyst is a variety of quartz with purple color, ranging from light and delicate tones to more intense and deeper tones. Its beauty is enhanced by its ability to finely reflect light, creating a luminous and enveloping effect. Thanks to its unique shine and elegance, amethyst has been used for centuries to create high-quality jewelry and art objects.

Brief History of Amethyst in Venice

During the Middle Ages, Venice became animportant center for the gemstone trade thanks to its strategic location and its connections to the East, including the Byzantine Empire and the Arab territories. The amethyst, which comes from India and Persia, was particularly valued. Thanks to its excellent craftsmanship, Venice transformed the amethyst into jewelry and ornaments of immeasurable value, which were not only artistic masterpieces /strong>, but also tangible symbols of wealth and prestige.

production of the dial

The production of a dial follows a similar process to the one described above, but involves an additional complexity: the fine cutting of an amethyst slice that is only 0.4 mm thick. This process requires exceptional precision and careful control of tools as the stone is very fragile and can chip easily. Once these steps are completed, the dial is carefully assembled by specialized craftsmen.

The Essence of Venice

Wearing a watch with an amethyst dial is an experience that connects us deeply with the elegance and history of Venice. Every time we lift our wrist to check the time, we are immersed in the richness of a centuries-old cultural heritage, a story of distant professions, craftsmanship and a gemstone that has enchanted generations. Amethyst's reflections and deep tones take us on a journey through Venetian history and highlight the city's ability to showcase the natural beauty of this extraordinary stone.
