The stone has been considered holy by American Indians, providing protection against evil. In the Middle Ages it was thought to give women happiness and power to men. The Navajo Indians believe wearing Turquoise offers them good fortune.

Some believe in healing properties of Turquoise, as an effective treatment of throat and lung infections, alleviation of inflammation and pain. The benefits go as far as lifting depression, providing self-confidence and promoting strength and well being. Turquoise symbolizes beauty, loyalty and counteracts apathy.

Turquoise is the official gem of December and is linked to Aquarius. The color ranges from deep blue to medium blue to blue-green. Presence of Copper gives Turquoise its blue hues, while Iron is responsible for the green.

Pearls and fashion

Pearls are classic and elegant. Pearls can be worn at any age, and create many fashion looks. A pearl strand worn with a black dress, is chic and timeless. Pearls worn with denim, is cool and modern. Women of all ages accessorize with pearls to create different looks and moods.

In the earlier times, due to the rarity of natural pearls, it was a luxury known by few: the affluent, wealthy and aristocrats.

Very small number of people could afford to own those precious gems created by nature.

In present times, due to the cultivation of freshwater pearls throughout the world, mainly China, freshwater pearls have gained popularity and affordability.

Besides the attractive price tag, freshwater pearls come in wide spectrum of beautiful pastel colors. Saltwater cultured pearls such as Akoya, are more valued and higher in cost, but only available in a limited array of colors.

Due to the abundance in today's market, variety of color choices and availability, freshwater pearls are favored as an addition to any wardrobe. Worn alone, combined with other gems of different colors or a mix of various shapes and textures, provides a versatility of design and style. When it comes to Fashion, pearl jewelry can become a statement and a perfect accessory.
