I'm not particularly an aficionado of bling: I don't wear any of my own and am not too smart about what to choose for others.

Still, I can't imagine a woman not being happy to get these as a gift. The heart shape of the stone is feminine, the silver setting is understated, and the deep purple of the amethyst is regal.

Finally, for desperate male shoppers: this is certain to get a better reception than a power tool or something that plugs in:-)
