Love 

Jewelry is always a fantastic gift to show someone you care. Its beauty and permanence ensures that once given, it can last a lifetime, enabling the wearer to benefit from its enduring beauty as well as the sentimental value which a carefully chosen gemstone piece can command. The traditional gemstones which are used to symbolize love are numerous; rose quartz represents perennial, unconditional love while amethysts are thought to symbolize a deep, enduring love.

Health 

Good health is a real benefit, so gemstone beads which are thought to protect against illness and promote well-being are always a popular option. Turquoise is widely believed to bring good health, as are jade, aquamarine and agate. Guard against accident or disease by wearing pieces set with coral or ruby stones.
