We’ve all heard about birthstones, haven’t we? The tradition of associating a gemstone with each month actually grew out of an older tradition, according to which certain gemstones were “assigned” to the signs of the Zodiac.

This assignation was far from random. Rather, it originated in the belief that these gemstones “vibrate” to the same energies present in the heavens during a particular phase of the Zodiac. Thus, those characteristics shared by people born under each sign are thought to be strengthened by these particular gemstones. For the earth sign woman, “horoscope gemstones” make a personal, individual way to enhance handmade silver rings.

Who are the Earth Sign Girls?

They’re the ones who seem “grounded”, who love nature and blend in easily with their natural environment. They tend to be sensual – that is, they are open to the world through all five senses – and love engaging with all aspects of the physical world. But since this can take time, earth sign ladies can have a bit of a “slower metabolism” than the rest of the sun signs. Women born under an earth sign are realists, and are often very productive members of society. They must guard against working too hard, or becoming too enamored of the petty possessions of this world. Given their love of the material and their practical nature, handmade silver rings are the most appropriate jewellery items for these ladies.

Taurus, April 20-May 20: Taurus usually loves comfort and luxury, serenity and constancy. Therefore, they’re likely to fancy handmade silver rings inlaid with a “serious” gemstone.  And what might that be? We suggest an agate, as agates represent stability – but also foster imagination and inspiration. A handmade silver ring with an agate will add a sparkling spark to the industrious hands of this quiescent woman.

Virgo, August 23-September 22: Virgos are known for their exacting attention to detail, and their intense perfectionism can make them overwrought. Virgos are also very sensitive; if they don’t take care, their emotions can wreak havoc on their delicate bodies. What they need around their fingers are handmade silver rings with zircon, as zircon enhances physical, emotional and mental balance.
