Turquoise

 

Hi

As its December and the December birth stone is turquoise, I thought I would share with you a few myths and beliefs about the "powers" that are attributed to this gorgeous gemstone. I am not someone who really believes this type of thing, but its Christmas, a time of magic and spiritual contemplation, so here you go.

Turquoise is believed to help someone start new projects

It is also believed to warn the wearer of danger or illness by changing colour

Turquoise was once thought to protect the wearer from falling, especially from horses.

Turquoise is more recently thought to be a good luck stone for aviators and flight staff.

Thought to bring happiness and good fortune.

It was believed that wearing turquoise on the little finger and looking at the stone after seeing the new moon would bring great wealth.

A token of friendship

And if this isnt enough to have you running to buy some turquoise, maybe these beautiful pieces might be! http://www.purple-label.com/search/web/stone/Turquoise

New Beginnings

 

Hi there

I have recently been working with a lovely customer who I think will prefer to remain anonymous. Her husband left her a couple of years ago and this year she has been invited to a big family do - and he will be there with his new wife. This will be the first time they will have seen each other for a long time. So this is going to be hard for her.

She came to us because she decided to remake her original engagement ring into a new ring just for her - to symbolise her beginning to feel better about everything and moving on properly with her life on her own. We managed to get this ring completed in time for this big family event and she collected it at the weekend and is thrilled with it. We were so delighted to have been a part of the support that this symbol will give her on this tricky occasion.

Jewellery is often worn as an important symbol of engagement or marriage - I guess this is more of an 'independence ring' which I hope will help her continue to feel like the strong and wonderful woman that she is.
