CLASSIFICATION: Faceted Dark Blue-Green Sapphire Oval. ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains. Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 10mm. Width: 8mm. Depth: 6mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 3.61 Carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Sapphires were also used as a talisman by medieval travelers. Who believed that a sapphire would protect the wearer from poisonous creatures, kill snakes hiding nearby, and provide advance warning against hidden dangers. It was believed that if a sapphire were engraved with the figure of a man or a ram, that sapphire amulet would cure all illness and elevate the owner to a high position. Other medieval wearers of sapphire regarded the stone as an antidote to black magic and effects of evil spirits, and provided protection against sorcery. It was believed to banish evil spirits and send negative spells back to the sender. Medieval sorcerers believed that sapphire enabled them to hear and understand the most obscure oracles. Celebrating that cultural heritage here's a colossal. Gorgeous, richly colored natural dark blue sapphire precious gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia. The gemstone was hand crafted into a very handsome faceted oval. The result is an exquisite and incredibly richly colored precious gemstone. It is a few shades lighter than inky"midnight blue" African or Australian sapphires, but given its immense size(the thicker the gemstone the less light penetrates) well past the medium blue of sapphires from Ceylon and Burma. Good quality blue sapphires are in high demand, and can be quite costly. Unfortunately most seemingly flawless, transparent, bright blue colored"sapphires" sold even by the largest and most reputable retailers in the United State

Guerber. With 64 Illustrations. DESCRIPTION: Softcover: 396 pages. Publisher: Dover Publications; 1992) ISBN: 0486273482. From his exalted throne. A mighty watchtower, Odin surveys the world; a world of gods, giants, elves, dwarves, and men. Below, the Valkyrs ride forth, their golden hair streaming through the clouds, the pale northern sun glinting on shields and spears. Through the battlefields they swoop, bringing the kiss of death to the warriors bound for Valhalla, hall of the chosen slain. The myths of the Norsemen are darkly romantic. Heroic and tragic. For sheer adventure and high drama, they are without equal. Their sagas are stirring tales that are as powerful now as they were a thousand years ago. But less well known are the stories themselves, stories with all the classic qualities of a long-lost age. Valor, nobility, and a triumphant greatness of spirit. These were the human attributes the medieval Norsemen admired most. What dazzling inspiration for young Viking warriors these tales must have been, vividly told beside blazing fires on dark and frozen nights. Their preservation. From the oral tradition to the prose sagas that have come down to us, owes much to the Norse colonization of Iceland. Here the art of storytelling lived on, vivid, dramatic, and realistic. The stories feature well-defined characters, colorfully portrayed. For deeply imbued with the values of the Norsemen though they were, the intention was entertainment, the emphasis on action and pace. And on these northerly shores, the sweep of Christianity across Europe was delayed long enough to allow learned men, proud of their pagan past, to adapt the art of storytelling to the written word. During the early part of the thirteenth century. The“Eddas” were collected together, masterpieces of Norse mythology that included the tragic death of Balder; the comic ta

Handcrafted Vibrant, Padparadsha Pink-Orange Semi-Precious Spinel Gemstone Oval. Contemporary High Quality Sterling Silver Ring(Size 8– Resizing Available) CLASSIFICATION: Faceted Pink-Orange Spinel Oval. ORIGIN: Chelyabinsk Oblast. Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 6mm. Width: 3mm. Depth: 2mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 0.38 carats. NOTE: Resizing is available. If you would prefer a different setting style.

Just let us know, and yes, we’ll discount the price by the cost of the setting. DETAIL: Mariners as early as the 11th century knew spinel as“lodestone” Which literally means“way stone” Due to the unique magnetic properties of spinel, it literally“found the way” for ancient mariners as it was used to magnetize the compasses which they used to guide their ship's course at sea. This also saw the beginning of the art of cartography, as seaman began to plot the courses of their voyages and create the earliest maps of the world. Often mistaken for ruby or sapphire in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, many of the so-called"rubies" and“sapphires” in Europe's crown jewels are actually spinel. The most famous is the Black Prince's"Ruby" a magnificent 170-carat red spinel that currently adorns the Imperial State Crown in the British Crown Jewels. Long believed to be a ruby, this gem was once owned by the Arabian Emirs, who were the rulers of Granada(present-day Spain) Celebrating our cultural legacy here's a gorgeous. Sparklin
