BIRTHSTONE OF THE MONTH - OPAL

October: Opal – Signifies Hope and Purity

The word Opal comes from the Latin word Upala meaning “precious stone,” and this gem provides the most beautiful blues of the gem kingdom. The ancient Romans believed a person who wore the opal was protected from disease, and opals were often set into the crowns and necklaces of rulers who believed its healing powers would ward off evil. Opals are found mainly in Southern Australia. The opal is the traditional gem for the 14th wedding anniversary, a gift of Opal is symbolic of faithfulness and confidence.

BIRTHSTONE OF THE MONTH~ JUNE


       From one of the humblest of life forms, the mollusk, comes the pearl - a gem of unsurpassed beauty and elegance.  Ancient civilizations had many stories to explain the origin of June's birthstone, such as the Greek belief that pearls were the hardened tears of joy that the goddess of love shook from her eyes as she was born from the sea. According to Arab legend, pearls were formed when oysters were lured from the depths of the ocean by the beautiful moon and then swallowed moonlit dewdrops.  And the ancient Chinese thought that these gems originated from the brains of dragons.

       Pearls have been a passion and even an obsession of people. Stop by and take a look at our beautiful collection of pearls at either of our locations in Sterling Heights and Novi.
