One of the greatest fashion trends currently is gemstone jewelry. Many celebrities are wearing gemstone jewelry and it has been reported they are spending more on gemstone jewelry than clothing.  They are truly a girl's best friend, allowing women of all walks of life to be able to afford to have a wide variety to choose from.  Gemstone jewelry adds flair, personality and can “pop” your outfit so you definitely get noticed. Gemstone jewelry is unique, distinctive, handcrafted and very sexy.  Gemstones are a great compliment to your evening wear and casual wear.  Never boring, you will add charisma to every outfit.  There are many gemstones all unique and beautiful. What most people do not know is the meaning behind each gemstone and the healing powers associated with every eye-catching stone.  The use of gemstones throughout history has been for healing and spiritual rituals. The gems were rare and beautiful, but the reason they were considered so precious was due to the power they gave to the ones who wore them. They give empowerment transmitted through contact with the body. The inherited powers of gemstones are recognized by modern science in the technological uses of crystals in watches, lasers and computers and also the subtle potency's such as their ability to promote physical healing in the body or their power to help balance human emotions.  For example, Agate can give you courage, banish fears and give a spiritual love of truth, but it also hardens tender gums. The precious stone Amethyst is a protection stone and helps reduce mental tension. It gives visions or opens spiritual and psychic centers and encourages transformation of breaking bad habits, and most of us have a habit or two that we would like to break.  Aquamarine calms the nerves. If you or a loved one are going on a cruise you might want to wear it as it is considered the protection stone. Coral gems help with arthritis and are the gemstone of wisdom. The Garnet cures depression and also works on the liver to relieve toxins in the body. If you or a loved one have liver disease such as Hepatitis C, a most common disease of our time you might just want to wear it.  Hematite helps stop bleeding and strengthens the stomach and intestines. This would be great for someone with gastritis, gall bladder problems, ulcers or Crohn's disease. Jade gives peace and tranquility, as well as long life.  This would be a good stone to give to a young child and gives peaceful death which would be thoughtful to give to someone in their later years.  Moonstone is good for meditation and protection while traveling and is also a love stimulator! This may be a good stone to have around when you are with that special someone!  If you are looking for the opposite of the love stimulating moonstone, then Onyx is what you need. It is the stone of separation and its purpose is to release or sever a bad relationship. If you are looking for success in your business and also soothing of your nerves, then Green Tourmaline is the stone you would want.  Tiger Eye is a great gemstone for people who are sick.  The beautiful Turquoise gemstone is the stone of friendship. This is a great stone to share with your best friend. Each of you could have matching necklaces or rings that keep you friends for life! Gemstones can be placed in necklaces, earrings, bracelets, watches and rings, adding glamour and sophistication to your image.  Hopefully you can find a beautiful piece that includes the stone for your healing needs.
