Jewelry such as pendants, rings and bracelets are always a treat for
anyone to receive on his or her birthday. Birthstone jewelry
especially, holds more meaning to their wearers, as each birthstone has
tiffany jewelry
its own associated symbolisms.
Different cultures have their own
lists of stones for different times of the year, such as the mystical
birthstone list of Tibetan origin, or the Ayurvedic birthstone list
drawn from ancient Indian medicine and philosophy. There is a list of
modern birthstones, though, that reflect traditionally known
birthstones in the Gregorian calendar. For those born in the month of
May
Tiffany and co, the associated birthstone is the emerald.
In a poem "of an
unknown author" published in 1870 by Tiffany & Co., the emerald is
worn by one born in spring-the "flower month of May." Those who wear it
as their jewelry then would become "loved and loving." The emerald is
also the sacred stone for Venus, the Roman goddess of love. A true
stone for love, it is used to keep loved ones faithful and is said to
change color if ever that person lost his faithfulness.
But aside
from being associated with love, emeralds are also
Tiffany believed to have
healing properties. The Roman emperor Nero soothed his eyes with them
while watching gladiator fights, while Pliny the Elder attributed the
emerald's healing qualities to its soothing green hue which reflects
the color of nature in springtime.
