Amethyst: A Regal Gemstone

February is the month of amethyst.

Crystalline quartz in shades of purple, lilac, or mauve is called amethyst. The word comes from the Greek amethustos meaning "without drunkenness" and was traditionally worn to guard against intoxication and to instill a sober mind. Ancient Egyptians used the amethyst to guard against fearful feelings and self-deception. Today, amethysts are often worn by healers, as it has the power to focus energy as well as bring pleasant dreams or relieve headaches.

Amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale and appears as quartz.

Care: Because it is relatively high on the Mohs scale, amethyst can be cleaned in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner or with warm, soapy water and soft bristle brush. However, it will become paler if kept out in the sun too long.

Make that special someone in your life feel like a princess this year with a beautiful amethyst piece.

Garnet: A Spectrum of Color

It's the new year, and it's the month of the Garnet.

Garnet is a group of minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and abrasives. The name "garnet" comes from the Latin "granatus", possibly a reference to the "malum granatum," or "pomegranate," a plant with red seeds similar in shape, size, and color to some garnet crystals. While garnets are most often seen as red, they are available in a wide variety of color including orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, and black. Discovered in the late 1990s in Madagascar, the blue garnet is the rarest of the colors.

Care: Because the chemical composition of garnet varies, the atomic bonds in some varieties are stronger than in others. As a result, the mineral shows a range of hardness on the Mohs Scale from about 6.5 to 7.5. Because of this, the stone is susceptible to nicks and cracks caused by impact. To clean your garnet, use warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Ultrasonic cleaning is safe for most types of garnet, but avoid using a steam cleaner.

Have a happy and healthy New Year!

Opal: Fireworks and Rainbows

October is the month for opals.

Unlike any other gemstone, opal dazzles the eye with a spectral display of flashing and dancing colors. Opal is treasured as much for its many different appearances as it is for its breathtaking beauty.

A Roman historian in the first century AD wrote, “There is in them a softer fire than the ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the amethyst and the sea green of the emerald – all shining together in incredible union. Some by their splendor rival the colors of the painters, others the flame of burning sulfur or of fire quickened by oil.” Opal offers the wearer a wider variety of appearances and color choices than any other gem.

Care: Because of their unusually high water content, opals should be protected from heat and strong light that can dry them out. Opals also draw moisture from the air and, therefore, should not be stored for long periods of time in dehumidified environments such as a bank vault. Never clean an opal using strong chemicals or detergents, and avoid both ultrasonic and steam cleaning machines. Because opals are slightly softer than most transparent gemstones, they are best suited for wear in earrings and pendants. When mounted in a ring or bracelet, special attention should be paid to ensure the stone is well protected. Opals can be cleaned with mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft brush. Be sure to rinse and dry your jewelry thoroughly after cleaning.

Sapphire: Bright and Brilliant

Long considered the ultimate blue gemstone, sapphire swings from the coolest and quietest shades to the most vibrant and lusty blues imaginable. And sapphire doesn’t stop there. You’ll discover some sapphires – often referred to as fancy sapphires – in shades of pink, purple, orange, yellow, gold, and green. Varied and versatile – the choice is yours!

Symbolizing truth, honesty, and faithfulness, sapphire is an excellent choice for any piece of jewelry given as a gift of love.

Care: Sapphire is hard and durable. Sapphires can be cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaning machine, any commercial jewelry cleaner or mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft brush. Be sure to rinse and dry your jewelry thoroughly after cleaning.

Open Pandora's Box

Peridot: A Gem Born Of Fire

August is here, and every woman deserves her birthstone.



Often called the "volcanic gem," peridot usually forms in the rocks created by violent volcanic activity. On rare occasions, peridot also has been found in meteorites that have fallen to earth. Peridot has a history dating back well over 3,500 years. It was first mined on the Isle of Serpents in the Red Sea.

Care: Peridot does not react well to heat. Avoid sudden temperature changes. Peridot should never be cleaned with a steam cleaner or an ultrasonic cleaning machine. Peridot can be cleaned with most any commercial jewelry cleaner or mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft brush. Be sure to rinse and dry your jewelry thoroughly after cleaning.

We have geniune peridot jewelry starting at $125.

Receive a free jewelry clean with the purchase of a peridot during the month of August.
