Amethyst - February Birthstone

FEBRUARY BIRTHSTONE AMETHYST
February is the month of amethyst, a precious stone that is available in pale lilac right through to a deep rich purple colour and whose symbolism is concerned with maintaining a clear (and sober) mind. In fact the word Amethyst comes from the Greek word “amethystos” meaning “not drunk”.
Amethyst Heart Stackable Silver Crossover Ring
£40
"The February born shall find Sincerity and peace of mind, Freedom from passion and from care, If they, the amethyst will wear." – anon
1.14ct Amethyst Heart Bezel Set Earrings
£60
Due to its ability to bring clarity of thought the Amethyst has featured strongly in religious and royal history, as has the colour purple. The original meaning of the colour purple was for mourning but it gradually became linked to wealth and power, as purple dyes, like those worn by royals, were expensive and difficult to produce.
Cleopatra was said to have worn a amethyst signet ring and it’s also said to be the stone of Saint Valentine’s, which is appropriate given that Valentine’s day also falls in February. Amethyst is also known as the “wisdom stone” and is still worn, today, by Catholic priests.
In terms of health properties the early Egyptians believed that the amethyst possessed “good” powers and placed them in tombs of pharaohs.  During the middle ages amethyst was believed to dispel sleep and sharpen intellect.  While in Arabian mythology the amethyst was supposed to protect from bad dreams, as well as gout.
While birthstones are often worn by those who celebrate their birthday in the corresponding month, an exception can be made with amethyst. This is because it falls in February, the month of Valentine’s day, and was particularly favoured by St Valentine’s himself, who carried a small sculptured amethyst in the shape of his helper, Cupid. So if you seek out a unique Valentine’s Day gift, with true significance, do shop from our wonderful amethyst collection, which offers something special for both the modern and traditional amethyst lover.
BIRTHSTONES
Throughout history it is believed that each Georgian calendar month can be marked by a particular gemstone that is befittingly known as a “birthstone gem”.  In essence if you born in a particular month you should wear the corresponding stone. Years ago astrologers attributed supernatural powers to certain gemstones, whereas, nowadays we wear our birthstone gem in the hope that is brings us good luck. Even today giving a piece of jewellery containing a birthstone gem is said to bring the recipient protection so it can make a very special statement gift.

January is the month of garnet, a gemstone most common in red, not unlike a ruby, whose colour, symbolism and significance is all based round keeping the wearer safe during travel.
In fact garnet is also associated with purity, truth, faithfulness and friendship and is believed to have traditional metaphysical properties befitting of a new year such as awareness, commitment, regeneration, insight and removing of negativity.
The healing properties of this January birthstone are related to the blood, heart and lungs and as a deep red gemstone it’s said to enhance sensuality and sexuality.
In it’s most common form of red, garnet represents the colour of fire and was historically associated with power and importance.  However, garnet is not just confined to red and exists in orange, yellow, green, purple, brown, black and even clear and colourless. During the Victorian era castles and cathedrals were adorned with garnets, as they were strongly believed to keep ghosts and ghouls at bay.

Black Spinel


“Sophistication with a timeless quality…”
Black spinel is a gemstone that is relatively unknown to consumers due to its rarity. It is an opaque, jet-black version of the red spinel, which with its brilliant sparkle is often mistaken for the ruby. These days, where most gems undergo routine enhancement treatments, black spinel can stand proud as a gem requiring nothing more than cutting and polishing to bring out its inner beauty. If you want a totally natural and untreated black gemstone – black spinel is the one!

Spinel is a mineral similar to corundum and is often found in ruby and sapphire bearing areas. Spinel comes in a variety of colours but the relatively rare opaque black variety is only found in a few areas – traditionally Thailand is the main source but Australia is also a major producer.
There is a wealth of mythology surrounding black spinel. It is believed to protect its owner from harm, to reconcile differences, and to console sadness. Some say that black spinel is the stone for people born on Saturday and it is the recommended gift for the 22nd wedding anniversary.  While in Western culture, black may be associated with evil or mourning; in other cultures, black may represent power, fertility or wisdom. In any case, black is the essence of style and sophistication with a timeless quality that means it will never go out of fashion.
Everyone has a little black dress! These are dresses you can rely on and are fond favourites of celebrities. A black spinel gemstone piece of jewelry is the perfect match for this classic look. 

Indulge yourself in JIAN London rare black spinel gemstone range.

The powers of Citrine


“Citrine is fresh, vibrant and citrusy…"

Citrine is any quartz crystal or cluster that is yellow or orange in colour. Although often cut as a gemstone, citrine is actually somewhat rare in nature. Most citrine on the market has been heat treated. Much of the natural citrine may have started out as amethyst but heat from nearby magmatic bodies may have caused the change to citrine.

There are many positive attributes of the citrine stone as it is believed to be a tonic for the circulatory system, helping cleanse the blood. Citrine gives energy and invigoration to the physical body. It is useful to people who are sensitive to environmental and other outside influences.  It is also the birthstone for November.

Citrine is believed to be of value in healing and carries the virtues of self-healing, inspiration and self-improvement. Carrying the power of the sun, it is excellent for overcoming depression, fears and phobias. Wearing a citrine gemstone assists you to remain calm in the most challenging of situations.

Living in a high paced life in 2011 can be extremely stressful and sometimes we just need to stop! Like us, celebrities too take time out to relax and detox. BeyoncĂ© Knowles has taken advice from experts and has got a beautiful citrine gemstone and diamond ring to guide her through the day. If you too need a luxury stress reliever in your life visit  JIAN London for a beautiful array of citrine inspired jewellery.
