In simple English if you click LIKE on one of our Sapphire Dawn Jewelry posts, OUR POST and LINK will then appear automatically on the NEWSFEED (ie: main page of Facebook) of ALL the people on YOUR friend list.

For example, say for instance I am wanting support for my township ladies and put up a simple post here on our Facebook Business Page and one of our fans (who has 100 friends on their friend list) clicks LIKE on whatever we have said. The result is that ALL 100 friends of our fan who has kindly just clicked like on one of our posts will see our Sapphire Dawn post on their Facebook Newsfeed.

If in turn another person clicks like on the same post then all their friends on their friend list will see our Sapphire Dawn post as well. Its basically a way of getting exposure and advertising and its very effective. Your simple click with your mouse is very powerful stuff!

At Sapphire Dawn we are constantly trying to find more work for our team of township ladies and their Jewelry. We dont expect our fans to all purchase our Jewelry, however…the kindest and most effective support we can ask you for…is that simple magic click with the mouse on the LIKE button whenever we post something on Facebook. This will be an enormous support to us. The mission of our company is to combat poverty and unemployment in S.Africa and any way of getting the word out there is valuable exposure and advertising for my girls. This is a daily challenge that we as a team are facing. For every woman that I can offer employment to in S.Africa there are at least 10 that I sadly have to turn away. Its our 11th year of our journey and we would not be over-coming challenges had it not been for our clients and fans who support us.

Want to show support for our cause? Use that powerful CLICK from now on, and know each time you do click LIKE its helping us in S.Africa to slay the giant of poverty and bring back hope and smiles to good kind souls who are working and trying their best to break out of poverty and be able to dream again.

We value and are grateful for each one of you! Regards and blessings,

Working hard to achieve our Dreams at Sapphire Dawn Jewelry

Some interesting tails from History are that the Romans used to believe that Amethysts prevented Drunkenness and therefore used to drink out of Amethyst encrusted goblets! There are still some tribes today that like to wear an Amethyst or place one in their glass of wine due to this past belief. I do not recommend trying this in modern day though as we now drive cars and it was safer to apply this remedy when going by horse!

Various Mythologies state that this is a healing Gem stone which is worn to relieve stress, enhance personal strength & peace. It is a known fact that the Amethyst is also one of the Gem Stones for the 12 Tribes of Israel. All very fascinating as its a Biblical Gem Stone. Apparently when Aaron lead the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt he carried a large shield with each of the 12 Biblical Gem Stones encrusted in it. The Amethyst is also mentioned as one of the 12 pillars in the city of Zion in Heaven. Wow, I cant wait to see that!

At Sapphire Dawn Jewelry, we have many beautiful Amethyst designs. (Bracelets and Earring pairs in Sterling Silver as well) Take a look at the beautiful Sapphire Dawn Amethyst design below.

This is a beautiful soft Pastel Pink coloured Gem Stone. Have you ever wondered what causes this Gem Stone to be pink when its formed? The Pink colour is apparently created by the presence of Maganese in the rock when it is formed deep inside the Earth.

Most of the Rose Quartz in the world is found in South Africa & Namibia. Some has also been found in mines in Madagascar.

In Ancient times, the Chinese used Rose Quartz for carving their goddess of peace as the beautiful pink colour of this Gem was thought to reflect Gentleness & Wisdom.

Mythology suggests that this is the Gem Stone for Love, Compassion & Forgiveness. It is also said to symbolise the Healing of Emotions. Hence our beautiful ‘Love Cast in Stone’ Necklace designed and created by my team of girls in South Africa.

Please see our Website on http://www.sapphiredawnjewelry.com for more Rose Quartz and Gem Stone Jewelry. All designs are 100% Fairly Traded and support a worthy cause.

It was worn around people necks who were traveling to bring them good luck & also just for those who simply thought they needed a “Lucky Stone” to bring them good luck in their endeavors.

Besides amplifying Good Luck, this “Lucky Stone” represented Happiness, Serenity & was also said to stimulate Intuition.

It’s name comes from the way the Light catches the Gem when the Stone is turned…resembling a cat’s eye..or a Tiger’s Eye! This is obviously why its so attractive to be used in Jewelry. Tigerseye Gems are sought after all over the world and worn for their authenticity and their beauty.

My girls have quite a few beautiful Gem Stone Necklaces, Bracelets and Earring pairs in this pretty stone available. Please see our Sapphire Dawn Jewelry Website for more examples on http://www.sapphiredawnjewelry.com and email us for any additional requests or inquiries.

Amongst this beautiful new range is a new stone that we have chosen to work with called Prehnite. Prehnite is a lovely light green, translucent Gem Stone and has a feminine and really soft feel and look to it.

Apparently, Prehnite was first discovered in South Africa! This is also the 1st Gem Stone that was ever named after a man, Colonel Hendrik von Prehn who was a Dutch minerologist and lived in the 1700′s in South Africa.

Most Prehnite is translucent and has a pearl lustre to it. Its slightly similar in appearance to Jade, but more translucent with small darker speckles caught inside the beautiful light green. Prehnite is spoken about in Mythology and thought to symbolise Forgiveness and Acceptance.

Please do not hesitate to contact us via email for Prehnite Necklaces or Bracelets, on chanel@sapphiredawnjewelry.com

Its name dates back to 50AD and means “blood red”! The reason being that when you crush this stone and run water through it, its dust colors the water Red. (The word Hematite or originally Haematite, comes from the word Haemoglobin ie. the protein found in blood)

Traditionally Hematite was called the “Stone of the Mind” It was believed to enhance mental attunement, memory & technical knowledge. The Myth states that this remarkable Gem Stone dispels self-limiting concepts & promotes the realization of one’s full potential.

Our girls at Sapphire Dawn Jewelry have quite a few beautiful Hematite Gem Stone Necklaces. All can be made up specially as sets with matching Hematite Gem Stone Bracelets or Sterling Silver Hematite Earring Pairs. Please see our website on http://www.sapphiredawnjewelry.com for many more Gem Stone Jewelry gifts and Jewelry designs.

Beautiful Crystal Gem Stone Set

The Name Crystal comes originally from the Greek word “Krystallos” meaning ice!  Its clearness is due to the fact that it is the purest of all Crystals not discolored by the presence of any other minerals deep inside the earth when it is formed.

In primitive times, due to the fact that a Crystal transmits heat and is cool to the touch. People originally thought that Crystals were ice that had lost its ability to melt!

The Native American Indians, Mayans, Aztecs, Celts & Tibetan Buddhists traditionally used the Crystal to recognize the origin of disease.

Since ancient times it was believed the Crystal held numerous Healing Properties. Remedies include reducing fever, alleviating thirst, relieving fevers etc. This Gem Stone was also used to dispel negative energy.

Most importantly this is a beautiful Gem Stone to be worn by anyone who appreciates it. Our Girls at Sapphire Dawn Jewelry have quite a few Crystal Necklace designs made up with this beautiful clear sparkling Gem Stone. The Crystal Butterfly Necklace is one example.

Love Cast in Stone : Turquoise and Quartz Crystal Gem Stones

Turquoise is probably one of the Gem Stones we get our most requests for! History tells us that this Gem Stone was named in the 14th Century. The colour ranges from a paler to a brighter Turquoise and sometimes even to a green colour. On occasion one can see tiny brown veins appearing in this beautiful Turquoise Gem. The tiny traces of brown are minute iron compounds.

This Gem was originally brought from the Eastern Mediterranean to Europe by Levantine traders, known as the Turks. (Hence the name Turquoise was given to this Gem)

Turquoise was widely used in Jewelry by the ancient Egyptians. It was sought after by the American Indians as it was believed to be a “bestower of goodness” It was used during prayers to bring rain to the land.

Mythology teaches us that this Gem Stone is the Stone for Healing, Enhancing Communication, Peace of Mind, Friendship & Loyalty. Turquoise Gem Stones are the birth stone for December.
