Birthstones - June

Birthstones June
June is a beautiful month. The first summer month which we always waiting for!
This month is full of wedding and happy moments. One of the June birthstones is pearl. Beautiful and elegant, pearls have long been the symbol of purity, class, and style they ere a part of the Royal families or something expensive not everybody can get. Now day it’s much easy. I like to work with the pearls and especially if I’m working on custom orders for the brides.
In many countries, pearls were worn as a declaration of wealth and power, and were used as a trinket to bring good fortune or to ward off evil spirits and to cure illnesses

Beautiful and rich looking garnet necklace in 14K GF. Unique beads like a real pomegranate seeds. This is one of the most selling necklace at RitaSunderland.com
Those earrings was named "Tango to Three". Dramatic and flirty look makes them so unique. Love this design and I made a lot of earrings with different stones in this style.

Those one is the last I made and I wanted to try to play with red and white . I think they are pretty cute. Rare cut heart shape faceted garnet will be also great for the Valentine's gift of love.

Holidays gift ideas birthstone

Holidays are coming Let's start gift shopping for christmas. As I'm into fine jewelry let me give you some gift ideas by birthstones in November and December. You can find some of my work at my RitaSunderland.com shop and new BLOG POST about December Birthstone Jewelry

November‘s original Birthstone was Yellow Topaz and the Sagittarius Zodiac stone. November's modern gemstone, Citrine, is as warm as a Van Gogh painting of sunflowers. The name Citrine comes from an old French word, "citrin", meaning lemon. The gift of Citrine is symbolic for both hope and strength. With its warm brightness, this gemstone is ideal for enabling anyone to get through the tough times in life!

December’s Birthstone Blue Topaz is derived from the Sanskrit word "tapas," meaning fire. This is because Blue Topaz was considered by ancient civilizations to have cooling properties. Blue Topaz is the hardest of the silicate minerals. The three shades of Blue Topaz are Sky, Swiss and London Blue. The latter is the deepest blue; traditionally a gift of Blue Topaz is symbolic of love and fidelity. The white topaz is a strikingly beautiful stone, often laced with golden edges or flecks. As with most white stones, the white topaz has is associated with the air element and clarity of vision, thoughts and emotions. Egyptians referred to white topaz as the "gem of the sun" and wore it as a way to invoke the protection of the Sun God Ra.
