TURQUOISE GEM STONE JEWELRY NECKLACE

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.

CARNELIAN GEM STONE JEWELRY

As you all have probably noticed by now, I find the history of Gem Stones very interesting. The Stone I have chosen to discuss today is the Carnelian. This Gem Stone was known 1000′s of years before the Birth of Christ & used extensively in ancient Jewelry. It was very popular to use this Stone as the Gem in the Signet Ring of Kings & Queens. It has a beautiful rich orange-red Color.

The Carnelian Gem Stone is the Heart of the Agate Rock, so when the agate is broken open, its heart is made up of beautiful Carnelian Crystals. This Gem Stone was also one of the 12 Stones representing the 12 Tribes of Israel. Aaron carried his shield with one of each 12 Gems embedded as he lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Just for fun : Myths state that it “protects the wearer from the tricks of the envious!” Mythology also states that this Gem Stone dispels all forms of Apathy.

FRESH WATER PEARL JEWELRY : LEGEND of the PEARL

According to an old Legend, Pearls were formed in the following way. At a certain time of year far out to sea, oysters would rise to the surface in the ocean beneath the full Moons rays. They would open their shells and then be fertilized by drops of dew in the Moonlight. They then return to the bed of the ocean and lie in their secret places while the Pearl is being formed.

Now today we know that scientifically, a Pearl is formed when a grain of sand enters the shell of the oyster. As the sand grain rolls against the inside of the shell it is coated with Mother of Pearl as it grows & is transformed to become the Pearl.

Because of this process, it is said that the Pearl holds the key of turning ‘the Insignificant into the Beautiful’.

The Pearl signifies Faith and is also the Birth Stone for the month of June. Please see our Beautiful Fresh Water Pearl Range of Jewelry at http://www.sapphiredawnjewelry.com
