Britt's Pick: Aquamarine Shaker Earrings by Jacquie Aiche - JCK

Posted: 03 Mar 2020 03:50 AM PST

It's about time we showed winter the door in favor of warmer, better seasons, and with the introduction of March, now seems like a pretty good moment to start. While the month is often unpredictable weather-wise, the human habit of spring cleaning seems innate—a show of optimism to help us endure the remainder of winter, however mild (as this year's has been).

Another optimistic approach to making it through this month, which is known to come "in like a lion" (and one that is born of spring cleaning), is to shop for a new season of clothing and accessories. I found my starting point: these miraculously marvelous earrings from Jacquie Aiche.

With aquamarine in a starring role, the pair is ideally suited to a March birthstone display, but the aesthetic has me clamoring for the summer sun and a Mediterranean getaway. A trio of luminous lines, each tiered with four mirrored gold discs, dangles from the aquamarine that serves as the focal point in each earring, with a further upside-down Y-shape pattern of the reflective gold rounds topping it. It's the kind of sexy, free-spirited look that Aiche has made such a staple of her collections. The effortlessly cool styles are a favorite of supermodels, celebrities, and regular ol' people like me (and my daughter, apparently, who pointed to my computer screen and said, "yummy," so Jacquie, if you're reading this, perhaps a collection for two-year-olds next?).

It's pieces like these that will have shoppers thriving on the anticipatory spring and summer vibes, so take stock and gear up to promote the sunniest outlook you can for 2020. We all need it, and your store will be a favorite place to be if you can provide it.

February birthstone - the royal Amethyst - Yahoo India News

Posted: 05 Feb 2020 12:00 AM PST

February birthstone - the royal Amethyst

Those born in February are lucky to get the magnificent amethyst as their birthstone. This February birthstone is a form of quartz with a mystical purple shade that has enthralled human beings since time immemorial. The stone comes in varied sizes and is much more affordable than the other gemstones in this category.

Do you want to know about the impact these birthstones will have on you? Speak to our astrologers and find out the stone that best suits your personality.

Amethyst is a captivating gemstone that dates back to around 2000 BC. It belongs to the family of quartz, one of the most abundant minerals found in the crust of the Earth. Due to this reason, amethyst is easily available throughout the world. Until the 19th century, Russia was the country that had the maximum deposits of amethyst but later the stones were found in Brazil followed by Africa and South America.

Apart from being the February birthstone, amethyst may prove to be an ideal gift for your loved one as it marks the 6th and 17th anniversary of a couple. It is a highly durable stone that can be the ideal jewelry item as it can last for a longer period of time and can be worn on a daily basis. But it must be noted that if this gem is placed along with the harder stones like diamonds and rubies then it may get scratches on its surface. Also, if it is exposed to heat and strong light then amethyst may become brittle or colorless.

The stone exhibits different types of color based on the way a piece is cut and given the final shape. The color of the stone ranges from light violet to exotic purple and looks good with both gold and platinum metals. In order to know which color of amethyst would suit you, speak up to our expert astrologers and know about the shade that you must wear to gain the positivity associated with this birthstone.

The word `amethyst' comes from the ancient Greek term `amethystos' that refers to as `an antidote against drunkenness.' The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst can safeguard one against intoxication. The color of the stone is similar to that of wine but it is believed its properties were the exact opposite as it wards off inebriety created by the wine god - Bacchus.

The February birthstone has many historical facts attached to it. It is said that the royal families of Europe and Asia wore the decorated amethyst jewelry as it depicted royalty and class. Some people even say that Saint Valentine wore a ring made of amethyst with a cupid engraved on it. Saint Valentine was born on 14th February and the world celebrates it as the `day of love' - Valentine's Day. This might be the reason that amethyst is considered to be the birthstone for every person born in February.

How to wear an amethyst: There are a variety of forms in which one can wear an amethyst. Every piece of jewelry adorned with this stone is an awe-inspiring beauty that everyone would love to wear. This February birthstone can be worn as a simple ring or a cocktail ring. One can also get a solitaire made with amethyst and gift it to their special someone for a special occasion. Also, this gem is available in stunning neckpieces that are accompanied by drop earrings and bracelets. Amethyst pendants paired with round stud earrings and the scrunchies made with this valuable gem will surely give your appearance a fine touch of royalty.

Effects of wearing the February birthstone: The primeval Greeks believed that amethyst helps in clearing the cutter that blurs the thoughts of an individual and makes a person astute. It is also said that this gemstone eliminates evil thoughts from one's mind and sharpens the wit of the individual so that he/she becomes more alert while taking important decisions while dealing with war tactics and business matters.

Healing Properties: Amethyst is known for its peace-giving qualities and the calmness it provides to the wearer. It is said that this February birthstone promotes stability and courage in a person and can also cure insomnia. The mystical powers of amethyst yields inner strength and bestows power and confidence upon the wearer. According to the Buddhist priests, amethyst improves the quality of meditation and this is the reason that many Tibetan people use the beads of amethyst while praying to the Almighty.
