Meanings behind gemstones
Amethyst

Star sign: Pisces
Planet: Pluto
Month: February
Hardness: 7
Mythology: The name comes from the Greek “amethystos” and means “sober”. In antiquity it was believed that wearing an amethyst would protect against inebriation. According to an ancient Greek myth, the goddess Diana is supposed to have turned a young nymph, called Amethyst, into stone in front of the very eyes of the god of wine, Bacchus. Bacchus poured grape juice over the statue, giving it the wonderful colour that we now call amethyst. This is why the stone is also called bacchus stone in the vernacular. It symbolises friendship, modesty and faith.
Blue topaz

Star sign: Sagittarius
Planet: Jupiter

Mythology: In mystical terms the stone is regarded as cooling and styptic. Its name derives from the place where it was discovered, an island in the Red Sea, formerly called “Topazos”. The topaz symbolises radiance and beauty.

Mythology: Since ancient times onyx has been one of the most important precious stones. Shamen also used it as a healing stone.

Pearls
Source: Japan, China, South Pacific
Star sign: Cancer
Planet: Venus
Month: June
Hardness: 2.5-4.5
Pearls are the product of oysters and consist of mother of pearl (nacre). Despite being soft, they are very stable and seldom shatter. Minor imperfections on the surface, known as “spots” in the trade, are not faults, but distinguish a genuine pearl from an imitation one. Almost all pearls used in jewellery manufacture nowadays are cultured. In this process a nucleus in the form of a turned, round seed from the shell of the Mississippi mussel, an American freshwater mussel, is implanted into the oyster together with a piece of mantle tissue from the donor oyster, after which it spends several years in the sea in freely suspended panels. The black-lipped Pinctada margaritafera oyster produces the black Tahitian pearls from the French Polynesian islands. Although pearls traditionally come from oysters which live in salt water, molluscs that live in freshwater lakes and rivers can also produce pearls. China has been harvesting premium quality freshwater pearls for a very long time. There are a few rules to be followed if pearls are to retain their beauty. They should not be stored with other jewellery, because the surface of pearls can easily be scratched. Pearls don’t like cosmetics, hairspray or perfumes either. Pearls should be cleaned from time to time by a jeweller. This is expertly carried out and, if correctly cared for, pearls can last for an estimated 100 to 150 years.
Mythology: The god Krishna was the first to find a pearl and he gave it to his daughter on her wedding day. Since then the pearl has represented love, purity and innocence. In the Hindu culture, pearls are associated with the moon, and Islamic tradition places even greater importance on pearls. The Koran tells of pearls as one of the great rewards of Paradise. The jewel itself is regarded as a symbol of perfection. In Christendom the pearl symbolises purity.
Diamonds
Source: Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Russia, China, Brazil
Star sign: Aries
Planet: Neptune
Month: April
Hardness: 10
The diamond – from Greek “adamantos”, the invincible – is a form of carbon and the hardest, naturally occurring mineral. It is regarded as the king of precious stones, thanks to its typical brilliance, its visual appearance, rarity and considerable hardness. A diamond can only be cut using another, and worked into a brilliant-cut diamond, because the individual crystal planes vary in hardness. Diamonds are traditionally weighed in carats, a unit corresponding to 0.2 grams. The four “C”’s are considered when assessing the quality of cut diamonds: colour, clarity, cut and carat. They systematically and clearly determine a diamond’s value.
