In ancient times


In ancient times, the gemstones were associated with certain characteristics of a man or a woman. So, when worn by a man a ruby was the sign of nobility, command, lordship and vengeance. Whereas, when worn by a woman it implied obstinacy, pride and haughtiness. Similarly, sapphire and emerald hold absolute different meaning when worn by a woman or man.

Gemstones like corals, pearls and amber are also popular. These are organic gemstones, but hold equal importance when worn as jewelry. Pearls are often less expensive than precious gemstones. However, natural pearls can sometimes be very expensive, as one does not find them easily. Nowadays, it is trendy for teenagers to wear birthstones. Other gemstones like turquoise, malachite and lapis lazuli, which are all opaque, are also very popular.

Gemstones are very hard in texture, but that does not make them invulnerable to damage. Proper care should be taken to avoid scratches and chipping. The structure of gemstones is weakened if there are any inclusions. This makes them susceptible to damage. It is advisable to keep different gemstones in separate pouches so that one does not get scratched by the other. Also proper care should be taken to keep the radiance of the stone intact.
