Necklace Details
Spinel – Spinel is a glittering, flashing stone that comes in every color of the rainbow and has a long history of being mistaken for other gems. In fact, the desire to distinguish ruby from spinel, most famously impacting the Black Prince’s “Ruby” in the British Crown Jewels, gave birth to the science of gemology! Like garnet and diamond, this sparkly stone is singly refractive. This rare stone is believed to help with the overall flow of one’s energy and enhance personal growth and happiness. Spinel is one of August’s birthstones and given as a 22nd anniversary gift.
Hematite – Hematite is a shiny, bold, metallic stone with an iron-packed red streak. It has been used for everything from jewelry to war paint to mirrors, and even to prove there was once water on Mars! It has long been believed to aid in grounding and protection, stability, and resilience, and creation of a calm, balanced environment.
Sterling Silver – Silver is considered a fine metal and, because of its durability, a tangible representation of lasting love and family bonds. It is also believed to strengthen emotional, mental, and physical well-being by promoting inner peace, alleviating stress and anxiety, and warding off negative energy. Wearing or carrying sterling silver serves as a personal talisman, enhancing one's inner strength and resilience. Silver is given as a 25th anniversary gift.
