Roi Soleil
The Roi Soleil design is inspired by Louis XIV (1643-1715) also known as the Sun King. He expanded Versailles with the help of Louis Le Vau, Andre Le Notre and Charles Lebrun, moved court and government there in 1682 and held a spectacular firework display.
Amethyst
Taken from the Greek word "amethystos", meaning sober; amethyst quartz has illustrious calming properties, protecting wearers with a sense of tranquillity and soberness. Famed for its regal deep purple colour, February's birthstone is said to enhance your focus and open your mind to critical thinking and clarity, and to also protect from inebriation. It is often worn by bishops set in a ring. Most are sourced from alluvial deposits in Brazil, Madagascar, Zambia and Uruguay, and Cassandra likes to juxtapose their splendour with rubies and aquamarine, or even green African garnets.
