💚We are all familiar with the terms “Emerald Isle” and “Emerald City” which give us an idea of the beautiful colour of May’s birthstone.
Found in several areas of the world today from Zambia to, most famously, Colombia, emeralds are considered rare.Members of the Beryl family of minerals, emeralds have been highly prized since the time of the Ancient Egyptians and are still very popular today! Once believed to cure diseases such as cholera and malaria, emeralds today are mostly associated with emotional healing and balance.💚
💚We are fortunate to have some beautiful examples of emeralds in both silver and gold settings, as well as some raw specimens💚

THANKYOU for your continued patience and support as we navigate the ongoing street closures and repairs in the French Quarter….Bobo is waiting by the door to see you!

March has two of the most diverse birthstones of any month of the year! Although very different in appearance, AQUAMARINE and BLOODSTONE do have similar properties for protecting a person’s well-being.
Aquamarine is a member of the Beryl family of minerals and can be found today in places from Brazil to Pakistan and beyond, as well as in the U.S.It is Colorado’s state gemstone! With a hardness of 7.5-8 on the MOH’s scale it is perfect for everyday wear.
Bloodstone is a dark green Jasper with red inclusions of iron oxides.Found mainly today in India, it also comes from Brazil, Australia and the U.S.It is popular with athletes today as a stone of strength and endurance.
We are fortunate to have some very fine examples of aquamarine in both sterling silver and gold settings as well as some museum quality crystal specimens.We have popular bloodstone in sterling silver jewellery, as well as nice tumbled pieces.
As our festival season kicks in to high gear we continue to be open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10-6.We look forward to seeing you soon!

💜February’s birthstone is, without a doubt, one of our most popular stones.Whether set in silver or gold jewellery or in natural raw pieces and points, AMETHYST is always a winner! Beautiful enough for the Crown Jewels yet affordable enough for the rest of us to wear every day!💜
💜A member of the Quartz family of minerals, Amethyst achieves its colour from trace amounts of iron.Found in several areas of the world today from Africa to South America and the U.S, Amethyst was once believed to prevent intoxication.Today we think of it more as a stone for calming and stress relief.💜

💜💚💛We will soon be returning from our Winter Break and will REOPEN on Wednesday, Feb10th, just in time for your Valentine’s Day shopping and the BIG Carnival weekend with parades galore! We look forward to seeing you soon! 💜💚💛
