Birthstones

Birthstone jewellery can be an elegant way to commemorate birthdays, anniversaries and other milestones. Long believed to have healing powers, each gemstone represents unique qualities associated with each month or zodiac sign of its wearer.

Garnet, with its rich red hues, represents passion and energy, while amethyst, known as February’s birthstone gemstone, offers tranquillity and inner peace.

While different cultures regarded gemstones as sacred and connected them with their calendar systems, modern birthstones weren’t officially adopted until 1912 by the American National Retail Jewelers Association and their list standardized. But traditional birthstones date much further; for instance Aaron’s high priestly garments in Exodus featured 12 gems representing each Hebrew tribe which eventually gave rise to what we know today as birthstones.

Through history, gemstones have long been believed to carry specific vibrational energies that affect our physical and emotional bodies, providing powerful tools for healing, divination and spiritual advancement.

Semi-precious stones

Gemstones and semi-precious stones have long been worn as spiritual jewelry since humans first made use of them. Believed to have both physical and psychological healing powers, gemstones also provide aesthetic value and serve as symbolism.

Traditional classification, dating back to ancient Greece, categorizes gemstones into two groups – precious and semi-precious. Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and sapphires are considered precious; other stones like peridot and amazonite fall under semi-precious gemstones.

Other semi-precious stones include amethyst, chalcedony, citrine and topaz. Some of these stones are tumbled naturally or polished using an abrasive grit to give them their unique shapes and colors – as seen with Setenta y Nueve’s semi-precious pebbles faceted semi-precious pebbles.
