Pearls are known as organic


Pearls are known as organic gems because they are created by living creatures. The existence of the pearl begins with a piece of grit or dirt entering the shell of a mollusk, oysters and clams. The or ganism in self-defence coats the particle withlayers of a substance called nacre, which eventually becomes thick enough to form a pearl. There are basically two types of pearls, natural and cultured. The process of the pearl coming to life is the same in both, only in the latter, the irritant is placed within the mollusk through human intervention. The pearl has been used to make jewelry since ancient times and considered to be a symbol of beauty, love, happiness and wealth. It has been one of the most coveted of gems due to its luminous beauty, inner glow and priceless nature.

The color red is often associated with the gemstone ruby, which is the birthstone for people born in July. Rubies belong to the corundum family of minerals and have a hardness of 9 on the Moh's scale. Ruby with its beautiful red color is a universal favourite signifying love, passion, blood and romance. It is believed to have great medicinal powers, protective powers and is said to bring peace and prosperity.

This bright green gemstone was called the evening emerald in the ancient times because it resembled emeralds in the light of the burning lamps. Peridot is the gemstone variety of the mineral olivine formed during volcanic eruptions. Originally found in the ruins of ancient Greece, it is now prevalent in Red Dea island of St. Johns, Arizona, New Mexico, Burma, Pakistan and China. Ground Peridot taken internally was once used to treat asthma and was believed to be a symbol of power and influence. People born in August believe this coloured gemstone to be their birthstone.

Though only the blue color is associated with sapphires, they exist in a rainbow of colours except red. One of the hardest minerals, sapphires are durable gemstones that have been in demand since the ancient times. The hardness of the sapphire is 9 on the Mohs scale and cornflower blue is the most popular sapphire color. Quality sapphires are found in Ceylon, Thailand, Australia, India, Burma, Africa and Brazil.

The market too is flooded with a huge variety of this product. From colorful hairpins made of plastic to be worn at kiddy birthday parties or a day at the park, to the conservative black and brown barrette pins to be worn to the school or to that formal interview. They are all available at the market. The most popular and the most coveted of all hairpins are perhaps, the jeweled ones. Companies frequently come up with bridal collections of hairpins that are beautifully studded with rubies, pearls and diamonds. No doubt, possessing one of these would only seek the envy of others.
