BEAUTIFUL AND RARE BLUE APATITE SET IN 14k YELLOW GOLD BEZEL MOUNT POST EARRINGS
Apatite is the name given to a group of phosphate minerals that occur naturally in various colors and can be faceted into gemstones. The name itself comes from the Greek word “apatao,” which means “to deceive”. This is likely due to the fact that apatite’s wide variety of colors causes it to be mistaken for other minerals, like beryl or tourmaline. Blue Apatite is particularly valued by jewelry designers. Significant deposits are found in Russia, Brazil & Mexico. Metaphysically speaking, Apatite is believed to be a stone of manifestation attuned to the future, activating psychic abilities and allowing expansion of knowledge.

It’s believed to promote spiritual growth, emotional healing, protection from negative energy, enhance intuition, deepen connections to nature, and foster self-awareness.
Hand-Cut Moonstones Earrings
Hand-cut Moonstones in Baroque 0.925 sterling silver post earrings
Moonstones are the most highly prized of the feldspar gems. The name moonstone derives from the stone’s characteristic visual effect, called adularescence, which produces a milky, bluish interior light. This effect is caused by light diffraction through alternating layers of orthoclase and albite within the stone. Flawless, clear, or translucent gems exhibiting a rich blue sheen are most valuable. Moonstones are typically cut as cabochons. Moonstones are sometimes cut to create chatoyancy, or a “cat’s eye” effect. Both the Romans and Greeks associated moonstone with their lunar deities. Moonstone is the state Gemstone of Florida. Metaphysically, Moonstone is believed to enhance intuition, promote emotional balance, and foster inner growth. It’s also associated with new beginnings, protection, and good fortune in love and business.
Pink Sapphire Ring
1+ ct PINK STAR SAPPHIRE (lab) IN 0.925 STERLING SILVER RING, SIZE 8
Naturally occurring pink star sapphires are quite rare and quite expensive. However, in 1949, the Linde Air Products Company of New York patented and began producing a form of gem corundum that became known as “Linde Star Sapphire.” These laboratory-created gemstones were known for the perfection of their asterism, the phenomenon where a 6-pointed star-like pattern appears on the surface under normal light. Linde ceased production of these stones in 1974. Since then, other manufacturers have produced beautiful lab star sapphires. These stones are chemically the same as natural sapphires, and with a Mohs hardness of 9, are quite durable and a thrifty alternative to their very expensive natural cousins.

Chrome diopside is a translucent, deep green gemstone variety of the pyroxene mineral diopside. Most chrome diopside crystals are almost exclusively sourced from Siberia, in Northern Russia. Chrome diopside is a relatively recently discovered gemstone, first found in 1988 in Siberia. Due to the deep green color of the gem, they are sometimes referred to as Siberian emeralds.
