Weight: 0.81 carats(the pair) NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: The fossilized resin known as“amber” gives a pine tree aroma when burned and in ancient Egypt as well as in India amber was used as an incense in religious ceremonies to purify the surrounding area. The ancient Egyptians also often utilized amber in the mummification process. In ancient Greece amber was thought to be drops from the sun. Broken off and fallen in the ocean. In Greek Mythology amber was the tears of the Heliade Sisters, who had been turned in to black poplars by Zeus who was furious over the fact that they were crying over the death of their brother, Phaethon, son of Helios, who was killed by Zeus for driving his sun chariot too close to earth, and setting it ablaze. In Norse Mythology, Amber was sacred to the Goddess Freya, whose magic girdle“Brisingamen” was carved from the stone. It was widely used in rituals to encourage passion or fertility. Celebrating this cultural legacy here are two beautiful.

WEIGHT: Approximately 1.80 carats(the pair) NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: In the ancient world topaz came from Topazion. An Island in the Red Sea now called Zabargad. Topaz was thought to protect against evil and to the ancient Greeks and Persians, it was believed to be effective as a talisman which would protect against evil enchantments. The Greeks also believed that wearing topaz would bestow upon the wearer great physical strength, dispel sadness and strengthen the wearer’s intellect. To the ancient Egyptians, the sparkle of topaz symbolized"Ra" their sun god. Topaz was significant not only within the religion of Ancient Egypt, but within ancient Christianity as well. There are many references to"topaz" in the Bible. Topaz was one of the stones selected by Aaron for his priestly breastplate. To ancient Christians topaz was regarded as a symbol of uprightness and virtue. Used for centuries in Russia as a diamond simulant. Here are two nice, eye clean, white topaz semi-precious gemstones. The gemstones were hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. The faceted cut is a coarse precursor to what eventually became known in the industry as a“trillion cut” a three sided shape resembling a pyramid with rounded corners. The trillion cut is very popular contemporarily with not only with topaz, but also sapphire, aquamarine, ruby, amethyst, and peridot. While not absolutely flawless. These are

WEIGHT: Approximately 1.03 carats(the pair) NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Ancient Hebrew legends state that the tablets upon which the Ten Commandments were written. Were actually sapphire, and biblical accounts record that King Solomon wore a sapphire ring. Monarchs of the ancient world oftentimes wore sapphires around their necks as a powerful defense from harm. They preserved the wearer from envy and attracted divine favor. Ancient Hebrew sorcerers and mystics valued the sapphire above all other gemstones, believing that sapphire enabled them to interpret oracles and foretell the future. Many linguists and scholars believe that the name sapphire is derived from its association with the planet Saturn(the name can be roughly translated to mean“dear to the planet Saturn” in many different languages) In ancient Rome Saturn was a major god presiding over agriculture and the harvest time. His reign was depicted as a Golden Age of abundance and peace. Here are two gorgeous. Richly colored natural bright green sapphire precious gemstones from the Ural Mountains of(Siberia) Russia. These gemstones were hand crafted in the 19th century into faceted pears, resulting in exquisite and richly colored precious gemstones with lots of depth, fire and sparkle. They look just like little green diamonds.
