What's going on in May at Elizabeta Jewelry

Elizabeta Jewelry is gearing up for some major changes to our website. We hope that by the time summer is in full swing, we will be finished. In the meantime, everything will continue to function normally.

Ok, now that I have gotten that out of the way, here are some ideas we wanted to share for May... Blue is the color we are featuring this month. Blue represents trust, loyalty, and balance. Some blue gemstones include sapphire, blue zircon, blue topaz, aquamaring, iolite, and some tanzanite. If you mention our blog, we will give you 10% off of our already low prices on any blue gemstone - contact us for a price. Deep blue sapphires are a great alternative to diamonds for a center stone in an engagement ring as they are durable as well as stunning. Here is a little bit more information on the symbology of the sapphire:

Sapphire means blue in Greek. The blue goes from dark blue almost black to pale blue. The finest blue sapphires are a strong blue. The star sapphire is very valued. Sapphires of colors other than blue are always referred to with the color. There are pink sapphires, yellow sapphires, violet sapphires, green sapphires and clear sapphires. Today most sapphires are mined in Australia.
It is said a necklace of sapphires will cure a sore throat.
The sapphire was called the "Stone of Destiny". Sapphires contribute to mental clarity and perception. They can promote financial rewards.
The sapphire is the symbol of heaven and joyful devotion to God.
Sapphire is associated with Aquarius, Virgo, Libra and Capricorn. It is the birthstone of September and has been the birthstone of April. Sapphire is the symbol of Saturn (dark blue) and Venus (light blue).
