Natural Gemstones review and giveaway

Please Share

Different Gemstones can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people.  Semi-precious stones like Citrine, Peridot, Aquamarine, etc could represent a birthday or each once could represent a child in a Mother’s Day ring.

In some cultures different stones can even show meaning.  For example green jade can be a wish of good luck. In the US most of us know what solitary diamond ring is for.  There was recently a story about why Mark Zuckerberg bought a ruby engagement ring for his fiance (now wife).

I’ve also even heard that each month has a 2 different stones: a precious and a semi-precious.  For instance, I’m  an October baby.  I always knew my birthstone was an Opal, but I noticed that a lot of birthstone jewelry had my stone represented as a pink stone.  My parents went to get me Birthstone Jewelry one time as a gift, they were told the pink stone is actually pink Tourmaline.  That’s when we were first told about each month having 2 stones from a jeweler.

I’m a bit of a jewerly nut though.  I like anything that sparkles.  I don’t just wear my birthstone, I also wear my husbands, and my children’s.  I thought, why stop there?  I’d like to have something in many different stones.

I received a loose 1.7 carat natural Citrine gemstone with an antique cushion cut.  Citrines are one of November’s birthstone, I’ve also seen it listed as Topaz.  I had a choice of a few gemstones but I actually didn’t own a Citrine yet.  I’m debating on what I want to do with it.  Will it be a ring?  A pendant?  Or perhaps embedded into a bangle bracelet?  So many ideas.  What do you think?

  1. I would love the Citrine in your review because it is my daughters birthstone, but I also would like Aquamarine because I think it is so pretty.
