Ruby jewellery is available in many different guises, such as ruby rings, with variants including ruby engagement and eternity rings, ruby earrings and ruby pendants, as well as bracelets, necklaces and more. They are to be found available in just about all shapes, quality of cut, clarity and size, but probably the most variable aspect is that of its red colour hues. If you are thinking of purchasing jewellery of any type, then ruby jewellery should be one of your first choices.


Whatever the reason for choosing these stones, and whatever the variety, then you will always have a massive choice to choose from.

Five Reasons To Buy This Jewellery


I. Colour Of Ruby


The regal red colour of ruby is always fantastic in such jewellery as ruby engagement rings, no matter if it is of the paler pink variety, or the deeper and more intense crimson-reds, or even the most sought after and expensive pigeon blood red colours.


II. Ruby Legend


Historically it has always been thought to be the gemstone for love, and to provide happy and extremely romantic feelings to those who are indeed in love. It is supposed to bring increased happiness and wealth especially to gamblers


III. Ruby Birthstone


If you were lucky enough to be born in the sunny month of July, then ruby is said to be your birthstone and is a great reason to purchase ruby jewellery of any type .


IV. Anniversary Stone


A ruby eternity ring is an excellent example of what can be purchased to commemorate all sorts of 15th, 40th and 80th anniversaries, especially those linked to birthdays and number of years married.


V. Hardness Of Ruby


Since ruby along with that of sapphire, is second only to that of diamond in hardness according to the Mohs scale, it provides a great relatively trouble and risk free item for everyday wear, especially when compared to some other softer in nature gems.


Conclusion


The jewellery that holds these ruby gems will usually be manufactured in all the usual suspect of metals. 9ct and 18ct yellow and white gold, platinum and palladium, and also silver, are the most likely of metals used.


To keep any jewellery looking as good as it did on day one of purchase, just like all other jewellery, because it will attract grime and dirt during normal wear, it is important to clean them periodically.

Because it has a hardness on the Mohs' scale of nine, being only second to that of a diamond, it provides a sturdy and robust gemstone, that is not particularly prone to chipping and scratches.

The "hot" pink hues of this sapphire variation are formed by the increasing amount of the element chromium. The greater the presence of this chemical in the stone, the deeper colour intensity towards that of crimson, and with this so the value also increases.

4. Pink Sapphire as an Anniversary Stone.

All anniversaries occasions for those years of five, 45 and 70, can be celebrated with by the purchase of pink sapphire jewellery.

5. Legend of Pink Sapphire.

According to many ancient legends the wearer of this gem would not have unpleasant dreams, and would have a faithful, sincere and happy life. Medicinally it would help fight against inflammation, burns, cancer, and help the hard of hearing.

My 5 Excuses For The Purchasing Of Fire Opal Jewellery

The Introduction

Fire Opal Jewellery, often known as "Mexican Fire Opal Jewellery", is often seen in such as those examples of Fire Opal Rings, Fire Opal Earrings and Fire Opal Pendants. These fire opal crystals most probably were unknown to Europeans until the Spanish conquered Mexico in the early part of the 6th Century, and brought them back from their travels. Fire opals were often called "Girasols" or "Sunflowers" and are lighter in weight than other opals.

In Mexico the most famous region for the mining of this gem is called Queretaro. The Aztecs, Incas and Mayans, all were known to adorn these crystals in their jewellery, which is backed up by many artefacts being found around this area through time. Many of these ancient jewellery types were in fact shaped in the vision of their "God of Death", defined in the image of a "Feathered Serpent".


The famous best selling novel written by Sir Walter Scott in 1829 titled "Anne of Geierstein" ("The Maiden of the Mist") really damaged the popularity of these crystals for many years. The book infamously stated links with that of death and some other evil, and so amazingly it lost around 50% of its popularity amongst the public around this time.


Around 1960, a surge in the popularity of Mexican fire opals swept through Japan and Europe. At its height, only diamonds, rubies, and sapphires out sold them. Japan is still the largest market for Mexican fire opals today.


Five Great Reasons


1. Fire Opal Colour


Fire opals most often only exhibit one show of colour. They are also said to be transparent or translucent and are known as "jelly" opals. They are found in yellow, orange and red variations only. Quite rarely, a fire opal that does in fact show flashes of green from inside will be seen.


2. Fire Opal Legend


It was believed by the Ancient South Americans that this gem would bring about everlasting youth and beauty, similar in their beliefs to their "Bird of Paradise". It also offered great success and happiness to the wearer.


3. Fire Opal Birthstone


For those of us who are indeed born in October, fire opals can be used to celebrate this.


4. Fire Opal Anniversary Stone


One gemstone used to celebrate anniversaries of 14 years is the Fire Opal.


5. Zodiac Sign Fire Opal


Fire opal crystals are associated to both the planet Venus and Zodiac sign for Libra.


To Conclude


In my humble view, one of the very best choices for someone considering "Mexican" Fire Opal Jewellery as a gift, can be made from White Gold Fire Opal Earrings, White Gold Fire Opal Pendants, and of course White Gold Fire Opal Rings. The contrast between the gemstone colours and that of the white base metal surrounds, is simply exquisite. Even better when seen using more prized examples of really deep and rich orange-red stones. These better quality stones are often said to be known as "Brazilian" fire opals.


Because the stones that are present in  Fire Opal Rings for example, as well as all other sorts of Fire Opal Jewellery, are found to contain around 10% water, they are fairly soft in nature and should be treated accordingly with a little extra care. They should be removed when necessary to protect them from knocks and scratches, extremes of heat, when swimming or washing, as well as obviously being cleaned and stored carefully.

Ancient South American tribes referred to this wondrous gemstone as liking that of the "Bird Of Paradise". They say said it was symbolically linked to providing the wearer with everlasting youth, wealth and happiness. What better reasons could there be to purchase an item of Fire Opal Jewellery for any lady...

Good luck.

My Brilliant Five Reasons For The Choosing Of Tourmaline Jewellery

Intro

The Tourmaline crystal that is in fact found in Tourmaline Rings, Tourmaline Earrings and Tourmaline Pendants for example, has its name derived from the ancient word for "mixed", due the vast array of over 100 colours in which it is found. Because of this it has also grown to be known as the "Chameleon Gem".

The Ancient Egyptians truly believed that this gemstone stole all the colours from a rainbow as it passed through while on its magical journey from the centre of the earth upwards. They referred to it as their "Rainbow Crystal", which is also still a term commonly used today.

 

 

It was originally brought over to Europe by the Dutch Traders from Sri Lanka in the 1600's.

Famously, some of the old and wondrous Russian crown jewels were thought to hold rubies, but in fact these gems were found out to be tourmaline hundreds of years later.

The Five Great Reasons

1. Colour Of Tourmaline

Tourmalines are available in many different colours, of which a number are in fact "dichroic", and therefore show different colours from different directions. Those from iron rich sources are black, dark blue or brown. Magnesium rich show browns and yellow versions, and lithium rich sources show all others, such as blue, green, red, pink etc. Some may also be multi-coloured or bi-coloured, where they are in fact one colour at one end, but another at the opposite end. "Watermelon" tourmaline also exists, showing green at one end and pink at the other, or pink on the inside and green on the outside.

2. Tourmaline Legend

The tourmaline is said to be suited to all personalities and moods, but specifically to long lasting love and friendship. It is believed to help those people looking for continued inspiration, such as artists, actors, and writers. It is said to protect the wearer from nightmares.

Alchemists who thought tourmaline could change that of base metals into that of gold, thought this to be "The philosophers Stone".

3. Tourmaline Birthstone

If you were born through the month of October, then tourmaline is one of your birthstones.

4. Tourmaline Anniversary Stone

Tourmaline jewellery celebrates all those occasions relating to that of eight years.

5. Zodiac Sign Tourmaline

In astrology, tourmaline is linked to the Star Sign Libra.

My Conclusion

All tourmaline jewellery, such as those types of Tourmaline Rings, Tourmaline Pendants and obviously Tourmaline Earrings, in many peoples views, including mine, have looked spectacular all through history when set alongside or inside that of diamonds. This produces truly wondrous examples of fine jewellery.

You can choose your Tourmaline Jewellery because it is simply beautiful, or maybe because you feel it may indeed offer some sort of protection against nightmares, or even because it may turn base metals into gold. But, whatever your real reason, then just choose carefully the one for your mood, and it will be your most loyal of friends for the rest of your life.

Very best of luck...

Your Marvellous 5 Excuses For Choosing Opal Jewellery

My Introduction
Romans were known to prize Opal Rings, Opal Earrings and Opal Pendants, as well as all other Opal Jewellery, higher than they did so with diamonds. The people of the Arab nations also thought that they were brought to earth directly from the heavens. Shakespeare famously said they were indeed "the Queen of all Gemstones".

From the Ancient Greek word "opallios" meaning "to change colour", did the world opal originate from. It was thought that the very beginning of mankind started when a rainbow carrying the first human form touched down, and the Earth surrounding this point all changed to marvellous opal. This was according to Ancient aborigines. It is still the National stone for Australia to this day.

Some reasons that may sway you to purchase opal jewellery are as follow:

The Five Great Reasons

1. Opal Colour

Opals are to be found with background base colours of white, milky white, almost clear, black and blue/greens and reds, that all show various amount of fantastic "rainbow" affects from inside. They are also to be found showing one display of colour only, in those of solid yellow, orange and red hues.

2. Legend

Opal crystals are said to be able to give their wearers great success and happiness, as well as long lasting beauty.

3. Birthstone

The birthstone for those of us who were born through the month of October is opal.

4. Anniversary Stone Opal

If you wish to use a gemstone to commemorate an event for 14 years, then the opal is that stone.

5. Opal Zodiac Sign

Opal is linked to the Zodiac Sign of Libra, that is also ruled over by that of the planet Venus.

To Conclude

A perfect piece of opal jewellery for your very own taste, can always be found from the vast array of colours and types. Whether it be solid, inlay, doublet or triplet, with the latter two being less expensive than the former, or even cheaper examples that can be acquired from the mosaic or synthetic range, you should always be successful. The price asked from within these family types, are mainly down to the amount of show from all the "rainbow colours" found inside.

Remember they are made up of approximately 10% water, and will need a little care and attention, if they are to be kept in the best condition. Keep them away from extremes of heat and remove them when washing and swimming etc. Try to keep your Opal Rings and other opal jewellery, dry, away from possible knocks, and clean them carefully, and only when necessary.

All the family of Opal Jewellery if indeed worn as beads in the hair, thought especially so by the women of Scandinavian regions, will provide the wearer with strong powers against going "grey" too early in life. Therefore, this fact and also the reason that it really is "the Queen of Gems", should definitely persuade you to be the proud owner of at least some item from all its glorious range.

Best of luck in your search...

Your Good 5 Reasons For Aquamarine Jewellery

Intro
Aquamarine jewellery, such as those made up of aquamarine rings, aquamarine earrings and aquamarine pendants, were once worn by Ancient sailors and fishermen. They believed it was their "lucky" stone, and they would be offered protection from the terrors of the sea, given greater strength, kept from drowning, and prevent their seasickness from occurring, during their travels.

They also truly believed that it was first found amongst the wondrous treasures belonging to those of beautiful mermaids.

Any powers that this crystal has, may be greatly enhanced if it is placed in water that is bathed in direct sunlight. Its name is derived from the Latin terms for both "Aqua" meaning "Water", and "Mare" meaning "Sea". It is believed to be the most peaceful and tranquil of all gemstones.

A few interesting and tempting facts that may cause you to purchase aquamarine jewellery are:

Five Great Reasons

1. Aquamarine Colour

Its wonderful colours range from the light blue, said to be the "eternal life" colours of the sky, through to the deep blue, and sometimes blue/green "live-giving" hues of the sea.

2. Aquamarine Legend

As well as the help it was thought to give ancient mariners, it is also symbolically linked to offering the wearer "oracle " properties, or the chance to see into the future, as well as trust, wisdom, and long lasting relationships.

3. Birthstone Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the gemstone that is used for commemorating all those birthdays throughout the month of March

4. Anniversary Stone Aquamarine

Aquamarine is used to celebrate all those anniversaries linked to 19 years.

5. Aquamarine Zodiac Sign

The Zodiac Sign for Scorpio, is said to have symbolic links to the aquamarine gemstone and aquamarine jewellery.

To Conclude

The wonderful blue colours available from this family of stones offers a great choice, especially in the larger sizes showing perfect clarity, and I personally like these gems when found for sale in examples of white gold aquamarine rings, white gold aquamarine pendants, and most definitely when seen set as white gold aquamarine earrings. I think the gem colour and gold colour complement each other perfectly.

Designers and fashion gurus have longed loved this gemstone because its colours are thought to fit in with all women's skin tones and eye colours, and therefore all designs of Aquamarine Jewellery are obviously a very popular choice today.
Aquamarine Rings are just one style from this family of jewellery, that have been believed throughout history to offer the wearer great wealth and a long lasting, and truly romantic and happy marriage. Surely a really great reason to purchase for all...?

Good luck!
