Jewellery from Gemstones

Jewellery made from gemstones are an absolue delight. Bracelets, earrings and necklaces made from gemstones are natural, from the earth. And each stone has a special meaning and must be treated with care.

Many precious and semiprecious stones are used for jewellery. Among them are:

Amethyst: Amethyst has historically been the most prized gemstone in the quartz family. It is treasured for its purple hue, which can range in tone from light to dark.

Amerthyst is a beautiful and powerful crystal stone for its healing and cleansing powers and has a sobering effect. It is used to relieve physical,, emotional and psychological pain or stress.

Jasper: Jasper is a gemstone of the chalcedony family that comes in a variety of colours. Often, jasper will feature unique and interesting patterns within the coloured stone. Picture jasper is a type of jasper known for the colours (often beiges and browns) and swirls in the stone’s pattern.

Quartz: Quartz refers to a family of crystalline gemstones of various colours and sizes. Among the well-known types of quartz are rose quartz (which has a delicate pink colour), and smoky quartz (which comes in a variety of shades of translucent brown). A number of other gemstones — like Amethyst and Citrine — are also part of the quartz family. Rutilated quartz is a popular type of quartz containing needle-like inclusions.

Quartz is often referred to as the most powerful healing powers. Rose quartz is a stone for unconditional love and infinite peace.

Citrine is often linked to wealth creation.

Gemstones like pearls, coral, and amber are classified organic, as they are produced by living organisms. Others are inorganic, meaning that they are generally composed of and arise from minerals.

Some man-made gems can serve in place of natural gems, an example is the cubic zirconia, used in place of the diamond.
