For those of you born in February, Happy Birthday! Amethyst is your birthstone and is a symbol of clarity, discipline and wisdom. The amethyst gemstone is typically a shade of purple and can range in color from pale lavender to deep violet. The intensity can vary depending upon the amount of iron and the presence of natural irradiation during the stone’s formation. Generally, darker stones are more valuable, though some high-quality amethysts show lighter purple hues with exceptional clarity and brilliance.

Amethyst is a fairly durable gemstone with a Mohs rating of 7, making it quite durable. They can be safely cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush. It is best to store them separately in a dark cool place to prevent scratches and sun-induced color change.

To celebrate February, we are featuring this 1.70ct amethyst pendant set in sterling silver. We invite you to view this creation and many others in our studio. We are open Tuesday-Friday, 9am-5pm, or by appointment by calling 715-235-7766.

For January, we wanted to show you one of the rarer varieties of garnet, the Mali garnet. Mali garnets are a relatively new gem discovery. They were found in Mali, West Africa in 1994.
Its colors range from green to yellow-green, yellow, gold, and brown. Characteristics of this gemstone include great brilliance and “fire”.

Mali garnets symbolize new beginnings, hope, and connection with Mother Earth. Yellow Mali garnets join other yellow gemstones in offering greater happiness, intellect, and optimism.

Mali garnets are a rare and beautiful find, fitting for anyone similarly unique who wants to break the mold of standard red garnets. Today we are featuring this 0.68ct yellow Mali garnet ring in 14K white gold. We invite you to visit our studio to view our garnet creations as well as others. We are available Tuesday-Friday 9am-5pm or by appointment anytime. We look forward to your visit!

For those born in January, we celebrate you by featuring your birthstone, the garnet. Garnet’s history spans over 5,000 years, from Bronze Age jewelry to the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, symbolizing life, protection, and safe travel. It’s one of the oldest known gemstones. Archeologists have recovered garnet necklaces and talismans from Ancient Egyptian tombs and mummies.

Garnets come in various colors like red, purple, pink, orange, yellow, or green. They can be found in Madagascar, Russia, and Kenya.

Today, we are featuring this 2.13ct millennium cut garnet and diamond pendant. It is interesting to note that the millennium cut gemstone has 1000 facets! It is difficult to comprehend the amount of work needed to make this cut. The initial shaping, the finer cutting and then the various stages of polishing means that some 5,000 to 10,000 minute yet highly accurate separate actions are required.

We invite you to see this garnet creation as well as others in our studio. We are open Tuesday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. See you soon!
