Birthstone Articles

When we think of January, we think of the new year. We think of the year ahead, and we think of all the hopes we have for it. As many may know, January's traditional birthstone is garrnet, but 2019 feels like it is truly going to be a year of new beginnings!

This January, jade green is your color.

The diamond’s claim to fame outshines every other gemstone. From ancient times, it’s been associated with strength and beauty. People have decorated themselves with diamonds in handcrafted and beaded jewelry, and used them for more spiritual purposes, for thousands of years.

The word “diamond” is derived from the Greek “adamas,”which means unconquered or invincible. Diamond is the hardest substance on earth, and is made of carbon–one of the primary elements necessary for life. They’re so hard that the only way they can be cut or polished is by using other diamonds!

It's the time of year when we turn our thoughts to the beginning of warmer weather. As the snow melts and new growth emerges, we start finding ourselves looking for the first buds and the beginning of flowers.  Whether it's bulbs, shrubs, or bushes, the stand-out color we find ourselves searching for is pink.

Dogwood

The delicate pink of dogwood is soft and sweet.  Representing that same softness and sweetness is our Romantic Pink Pearl Beaded Anklet.  Delicate pink pearls with Swarovski crystals grace your ankle like petals from the new bloom of the pink dogwood.
