May Birthstone: Emerald

bresco_wp — Sun, 06 May 2012 09:36:43 +0000

As the birthstone for May, the emerald, a symbol of rebirth, is believed to grant the owner foresight, good fortune, and youth. Emerald, derived from the word smaragdus, meaning green in Greek, was mined in Egypt as early as 330 B.C. Today, most of the world’s emeralds are mined in Colombia, Brazil, Afghanistan, and Zambia.

Who first beholds the light of day

In Autum’s month of May

And wears an emerald all her life

Shall be a loved and happy wife…

April Birthstone: Diamond

bresco_wp — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:10:01 +0000

Diamonds are arguably the most coveted gems in history. The word diamond refers to its hardness (Greek- adamas, the unconquerable) – there is no other gemstone comparable to diamonds in hardness. Uncut diamonds adorned the suits of armour of great knights; cut diamonds have adoned the crowns of kings and queens throughout the ages. Today it is internationally recognised as a symbol of love – no better reason for its presence in the engagement ring!

March Birthstone: Aquamarine

bresco_wp — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:09:04 +0000

The name aquamarine is derived from the Latin word aqua, meaning water, and marina, meaning the sea. This gemstone was believed to protect sailors, as well as to guarantee a safe voyage. The serene color of aquamarine is said to cool the temper, allowing the wearer to remain calm and levelheaded. Its pale, cool color beautifully complements spring and summer wardrobes. Aquamarine is most often light in tone and ranges from greenish blue to blue-green; the color usually is more intense in larger stones. This gemstone is mined mainly in Brazil, but also is found in Nigeria, Madagascar, Zambia, Pakistan, and Mozambique.
