This fun new design features a trio of spinel drops suspended from etched Czech Glass, topped with a hematite round for jewelry that can be worn with anything - from dress up to dress down. Spinel comes in many colors and is sometimes called "the great imposter," because it is frequenly mistaken for other stones like ruby, sapphire, tanzanite and garnet. At Lilipurl we work with black spinel. Spinel helps one with focus and taking charge. It promotes renewal and calm, and is a protective talisman, as is hematite.

A very feminine stone, pearls are not a true stone, but are formed by oysters as they perform self-nurturing. They are formed when a foreign body gets into the shell, and the oyster secretes a fluid called "nacre" to coat the foreign body, over and over again, that hardens into a pearl. It is the June birthstone.

These long, statement-making earrings grab the attention. Mother-of-Pearl is the inner shell coating of pearl-producing mollusks, so it contains the nacre that gives Pearls their sheen and beauty. It is a healing and protective stone. It is believed to stimulate the memory of your origin.

Jasper has been revered as a gemstone since ancient times, and is mentioned in the Bible. Although it is a relatively common stone, and comes in many different colors, it was considered a highly valuable stone in ancient times. These particular jaspers remind me of what the Earth looks like from space - a deep blue, with lighter colored striation.

Aquamarine, the March birthstone, has a deep connection to the ocean. Aquamarine is not only prized for it beauty and protective qualities, it is a stone of courage.
