Gemstone Earring: One Small Way to Express Your Individuality
Some people have specific color preferences while some people
also like only specific stones, and are energized by being
around them. Gemstone earrings exist so that people may be able
to select their jewelry based on their own preferences, and
customize their accessories according to their desires.
Experts in psychic phenomena believe that each gemstone stands
for something. Certain stones perform certain functions, or
encourage a specific aspect of one's personality. 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.
Diamond -- currently the hardest mineral known to man -- is said
to stand for strength and purity, which is why it is in demand
in gemstone earrings among both men and women. Emeralds are said
to stand for harmony, strength of heart, and luck with love.
Emeralds themselves are rare, and the extremely rare red emerald
is said to be even more valuable than diamonds. Sapphires stand
for wisdom, calm and faith. Finally, rubies stand for passion,
excitement, loyalty and sexual pleasure.
Gemstone earrings may also stand for birth months, as some
precious and semi-precious stones are also birthstones. The
different birthstones per month are listed thus:
* January - Garnet * February - Amethyst * March - Aquamarine
or Bloodstone * April - Diamond * May - Emerald * June - Pearl,
Moonstone or Alexandrite * July - Ruby * August - Peridot or
Sardonyx * September - Sapphire * October - Opal or Tourmaline *
November - Topaz * December - Turquoise, Zircon or Blue Topaz
Different gemstone earrings may lend strength to different
aspects of an individual
