Drop of God, cold victory, tower of greenness. These are the images from “The Emerald,” a poem written by world-famous Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. The delicate beauty of this and other unique gemstones, such as amber and aquamarine, have captivated the imagination and affections of the public since the beginning of time.
The poetry of the Judaism and Christianity is often decorated with colorful gemstones, and secular royal families have been celebrated throughout the ages for their crown jewels. Oh, and let us not forget the enchanting fictional Emerald City of Frank L. Baum's “The Wizard of Oz.” There is simply no escaping humanity's love of gemstones.
Pick up any fashion magazine and see unique gemstones sparkling off the page, set in bracelets, watches, rings, necklaces and brooches. Amber, actually fossilized tree sap, is an especially striking popular gemstone. Truly a gem of many colors, blue amber has been found in the Dominican Republic, large pieces of rolled amber sometimes appear on the east coast of England, and various shades of amber are harvested in the swampy forests of the Ukraine. The promontory of Sambia in Russia, however, is the most successful amber supplier. Ninety percent of the world's amber comes from this location, making it possible for jewelers to create masterpieces out of this unique gemstone.
Signature Gems, for example, creates all their handcrafted amber jewelry with gemstones from the Baltic Sea. A trendy necklace of large, round, rich amber beads sells for $109. An exclusive green amber Cleopatra style necklace runs for $139. For an inexpensive gift or treat to self, consider a Baltic amber pendant or pair of earrings from $39.
An aquamarine bracelet is another special token of affection; especially for March birthdays, when aquamarine is celebrated as the birthstone. Check out the elegant accessories created with these calming gemstones at Cluny Grey Jewelry. Bracelets incorporating lampwork glass and sterling silver with aquamarine gemstones start at $73.99. The Sun and Sea style pairs egg yolk colored beads with the fresh turquoise colored gemstones to make a stunning fashion statement.
Now returning full circle to the emerald, a cousin of the softer and lighter aquamarine. Emerald gemstones develop in many variations of green and blue-green, dark and vibrant green being the most valuable sort of emerald. An assortment of affordable jewelry celebrating May's birthstone is available online at Jewels for Me. Hazel or green-eyed girls become radiant with the help of a necklace all asparkle with emerald gemstones. Check out the classy combination of emerald and diamond in a unique white or yellow gold pendant, starting at just $189.
Diamond is a perfect compliment to almost all gemstones, whether used in a ruby engagement ring, yellow and orange sapphire ring or amethyst earrings. All gemstones glow a shade brighter when set next to a diamond. With the array of colors to choose from, any luminescent design is possible.
There is no better time to start a collection than now. Pull out those timeless outfits from the closet, and shop online for jewelry to go with each. With the accessibility and affordability of gemstones today, kings and queens do not have to be the only ones known for their family stones.
