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 firmament during a particular phase of the Zodiac. This, those characteristics shared by people born under each sign are thought to be strengthened by these particular gemstones. For the air sign woman, “horoscope gemstones” make a personal, individual pendant when strung on a slinky handmade silver necklace.

What do we know about those born under an air sign- that they use the power of the mind to make sense of the world.  Air sign ladies can be a bit detached, leaving some “space” between the life they live and what they think about it. Some women born under an air sign can seem “cool”, detached and aloof. Many of them prefer to talk through feelings rather than fully absorbing their emotional weight.

Handmade silver necklaces  - especially those with large, varying size, loopy links – are perfect for these flexible, open girls. Add a gemstone pendant to their handmade silver necklaces and you’ve really caught their curious eye.

Aquarius, January 20-February 18: This is a witchy, bewitching sign much concerned with social causes, and the visionaries born under it will benefit from a handmade silver necklace inlaid with amethysts. Mesmerizing amethysts promote the spiritual development and tranquility that Aquarius girls crave.

Gemini, May 21-June 20: Geminis are the communicators of the Zodiac. They love to talk and to cultivate relationships with people and ideas. They are clear-thinking and intellectual. That’s why their handmade silver necklaces should have pendants or adornments of aquamarine. Set in a handmade silver necklace, the aquamarine helps stimulate the mind and promote learning.

Libra, September 23-October 22: Libras favor balance and harmony, and are eminently fair. They tend to focus on others, and prefer to be in partnership with someone than to go it alone. The chains that bind for these girls are handmade silver necklaces enhanced by smoky quartz, a gemstone known to promote cooperation and harmony.
