Beauty is essentially a subjective concept. No one would wear rubies or sapphires for ornamentation if they were as common as pebbles on the beach.
Precious stones have been used for centuries for magical and medicinal purposes. Amethyst was believed to be a surface cure for toothaches and headaches; sapphires enabled the wearer to escape from prison; turquoise is considered to bestow health and good luck. If you think you are not superstitious, recall at the beginning of the century, the Hope Blue diamond was alleged to have brought death or economic ruin to its possessors.
We hope you enjoyed a little bit of trivia on the different stones. If you have any questions for availability on any item you have read about, you may contact either of our locations in Anderson or Powdersville and talk to a sales representative. |
