Jewelry Of Semi-Precious Stones: Stylish Things Of Beauty |
Want to make or wear impressive costume jewelry, but running on a
tight budget? Using semi-precious stones is one good way to achieve
this. These stones come in a wide variety and are highly accessible to
almost everyone. Semi-precious stones preserve the effect of
sophistication. Many pieces of jewelry made of these stones are
pleasant to look at without seeming opulent. Depending on one's own
taste and fashion sense, these gemstones have the greatest potential
to enhance one's personal sense of style.
Some semi-precious stones are also birthstones, which correspond to
people's birth months. Some people believe that wearing stones that
correspond with one's birth month increases one's inner strength. This
special trait makes jewelry made of certain semi-precious birthstones
especially useful as gifts. Examples of such birthstones are garnet
(January) and aquamarine (March).
Another popular belief is that certain stones have their own unique
"powers." For example, wearing garnet is said to help ease the pain of
a bad breakup, or cause jealousy between lovers. Amethyst is said to
protect its wearer against the ill effects of alcohol, slow down
intoxication and prevent hangovers. Turquoise is said to give
emotional strength. Jade has always had enormous importance in Asian
civilization; it is said to have the mystical power to protect its
wearer against nightmares and other psychic attacks.
Quartz is said to be among the most important of the semi-precious
stones, because it calls upon the power of love -- especially the rare
rose quartz. Wearing rose quartz is said to increase one's chances of
finding or maintaining a good romantic relationship.
Some pieces of bead jewelry are also made of semi-precious stones. The
stones are threaded together with cords, making fine webs and
accentuating intricate designs. Jewelry made of semi-precious stones
is always popular, partly because of the beliefs associated with the
stones -- but mostly because they're so pretty and can go well with
anything one wears.
