Amethyst is also known as the stone of St. Valentine, leading to the belief that it represented pure, chaste love. Until the 1700s Amethyst was seen as one of the cardinal gemstones, which were the most valuable gems and ranked in value amongst sapphire, ruby and emerald.

It became popular during this era due to the shortage of gold, in Europe, because of the Napoleonic wars. This technique could produce larger, ornate looking pieces, using less gold and comparatively cheaper gems. The considerable time and skill involved was balanced by low labour costs. The jewels were often embellished with coloured gemstones, such as aquamarine, pink topaz, amethyst and chrysoberyl. Czech garnets, turquoise and opals were often set in pieces from central Europe. Rubies were seen in English cannetille items. The settings were usually closed backed and foiled. The taste for and manufacture of cannetille jewellery decreased in the 1840s.

The company became known as Starr and Marcus. Marcus left to join Tiffany \u0026amp; Co., in 1877. Starr bought back control of the company, with the name of the company reverting to Theodore B. Starr. The company was incorporated in 1907, by Starr's son. On 1\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e July, 1918, their stock was purchased by the silver firm of Reed and Barton.
