Circlets

Circlet

A circlet is a crown with neither arches nor a cap, which is internal covering. It known in greek as stephanos, and in latin as corona operta, or simply “open crown”.

Many ancient crowns were circlet in style, notably the original St. Edward’s Crown, the coronation crown of English monarchs, which was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell during the Commonwealth of England. In fairy tales, crowns often continue to be represented in circlet form.

There are similar definition and used between Circlet, Tiara and Crown.
Tiara – In modern times the tiara is generally a semi-circular band, (open in the back), usually of metal and sometimes decorated with beads or gem stones. It can be worn high on the head, or on the forehead like a circlet.

This style of tiara is often seen as head adornment in a wedding ceremony or handfasting as a bridal tiara. The fictional character Wonder Woman wore a tiara, which also served as a weapon.

Circlet – A circlet is a crown without the arched pieces that connect to an ornament at the top or the fabric cap attached to the inside. Many crowns throughout history have been circlet in style, and today, this is the most popular form of crown used in weddings, rituals, renaissance faires, celtic festivals, and in quality costumes. Our Tiaras are technically Circlets because of the chain in the back that completes the circle.

Crown – We include the term crown on our site simply because most people looking for head adornment may not be aware that what they are most likely looking for is a tiara or circlet. A crown is a circlet with the arched pieces that connect to an ornament at the top or the fabric cap attached to the inside.

Sparkling Strawberry Quartz

Strawberry Quartz

Strawberry Quartz

Quartz is one of the most plentiful minerals on earth, making up about 12% of the earth’s crust. Anyway, ‘Fruit Quartz’ is the general trade term for a group of colorful, translucent materials which are individually known by fruit-like names such as “cherry quartz”, “blueberry quartz”, “strawberry quartz”, “kiwi quartz”, “pineapple quartz”, and so on. They are commonly carved into jewelry components such as beads or pendants or into decorative objects.

Strawberry quartz is a very rare type of quartz. It was found in Kazakhstan, one of the former Soviet republics. The color of this stone varies from pale pink to pink, and it has shining and sparkling needles of GOETHITE inside, which make strawberry quartz so attractive.

Strawberry quartz gets its color from inclusions of various forms of iron oxide. There are four different but chemically related iron oxides that may be found in quartz. They include lepidocrocite (FeO(OH)), goethite (also FeO(OH) but with a different crystal structure), limonite (FeO(OH)*nH2O) and hematite (Fe2O3).

Strawberry Quartz carries all the vibrations of Clear Quartz, with the additional attributes of universal love, understanding of purpose, and seizing the day. Carrying Strawberry Quartz can be soothing and calming for someone who works in a fast-paced environment. Strawberry Quartz has the ability to amplify intentions of love, gratitude and generosity, and can radiate those vibrations outward.

Strawberry Quartz assists in bringing balance to the psyche, the emotions, and the subtle energy bodies. An important tool for new initiates on the spiritual path, Strawberry Quartz can help one to gain insights into one’s persona and inspiration regarding how to improve on it. Strawberry Quartz is a great facilitator of gaining hidden knowledge.

Star Ruby

“Ruby” derives from the Latin “rubens”/”ruber” which means “red.” The universally acknowledged synonym for ruby is “red” gemstone, even though there are also rubies in shades of pink and purplish-red. Rubies were apparently first worn in the breastplates of high priests centuries ago. They have never lost their place as precious jewels that are considered to have historical significance, potent physical properties and monetary value beyond compare.

Star Ruby shows asterism, a six-rayed star that shimmers over the surface of the stone when it is moved. Ruby is red corundum, all other color varieties of corundum being referred to as sapphire. Corundum is the second hardest substance on the Mohs scale, with a rating of nine.

The six legs of the star should be sharp (not wide and blurry) and centered. The main ray should run lengthwise. The star should be silvery or milky white. From a clarity standpoint, the stone should be semi-transparent. A star cannot be completely transparent because it is the rutile that causes the star. A star must be properly cut to create a six rayed star. The stone should not be too flat on the top or too heavy on the bottom. Many bottoms of stars look almost unfinished. This is because the gems are so rare that the cutters do everything to save weight and assume they will be mounted anyway.

Star Rose Quartz

Star Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is one of the most desirable and attractive varieties of quartz. Rose Quartz owes its unique soft pink hue to tiny traces of titanium and manganese. Sometimes, rutile needles are present in the rose quartz hence star-effect or asterism is seen.

Unlike Star Rubies and Star Sapphires, in Star Rose Quartz, asterism can be seen under any strong light. Usually star rose quartz can only be seen on cut and polished pieces of rose quartz. It is virtually impossible to recognize asterism in an unpolished specimen. Since the left and right eye see the star at different positions and the brain concludes from this stereo image that it must be situated above the rose quartz – looking at it for some time can make you feel dizzy as something is apparently “wrong”.

Star rose quartz is only found in a few locations in the world. Rose quartz is opaque to translucent microcrystalline quartz of pink to rose-red colour. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile crystals which are oriented at right angles to the c-axis of the rose quartz in three directions, each 120 degrees apart.

Rose quartz occurs at many pegmatite locations all over the world. It is commercially mined in Madagascar (Vorondolo Mountains, south-east of Antsirabé), South-Africa, Namibia, India, Germany, U.S.A. (South Dakota), and Brazil (Bahia and Minas Gerais). However, Star Rose quartz is found mainly in South Dakota, Vietnam and Madagascar.

Star Moonstone

Moonstone is a member of the Orthoclase Feldspar family and is considered to be a semi-precious gemstone. While limited in nature, some good size stones are available. Moonstone owes its name to its almost magical shimmer that resembles moonshine, the bluish-white light seems to hover over the stone as it moves. This phenomena is called adularescence.

Moonstone typically exhibits the phenomena of adularescence in which a bluish-white light seems to hover over the stone as it moves. This phenomena originates from the interior structure of the gemstone. Incoming light is refracted inside the stone and scattered, creating a unique play of light. A combination of orthoclase and albite arranged in layers causes the lovely sheen.

There are different types of Moonstone. Moonstone from Sri Lanka, the classical country of origin shimmers blue on an almost transparent background. Specimens from India show play of light on beige, green, orange or brown background. Moonstone cat’s eye and multi-rayed star moonstone are known, but rare.

Star Garnet

Star Garnet

Star garnets, also known as Asteriated Almandine, are a special form of the gemstone garnet. While colored like other garnets they display a reflection-like image of a four or six pointed star caused by the inclusion of rutile needles (an effect known as Asterism).

Star garnet is an unusual form of garnet. Asterism, or the star effect,is associated mostly with star sapphire and star ruby. But in fact a small of group of other gemstones can also exhibit this effect, though specimens are fairly rare. The other star gems include moonstone, quartz, spinel, citrine, diopside, emerald, chrysoberyl and garnet.

The star garnet was designated the official state stone or gem of Idaho in 1967. More precious than either star rubies or star sapphires, the Idaho garnet is usually dark purple or plum in color, with four rays in the star (occasionally the star has six rays, as in a sapphire).

Idaho’s nickname is “The Gem State.” The mountains of Idaho contain veins of gold, silver, lead, zinc, cobalt, copper, and many other rare minerals. Among these rare minerals are gems like the star garnet, jasper, opal, jade, topaz, zircon, and tourmaline.

Star garnets are usually opaque and colored a deep brownish red or a reddish black. Like all star gems, the star effect is caused by inclusions of rutile. But in order to display the star effect the rutile needles must have the right alignment to reflect light in a pattern forming a mult-ray star.

The star effect in most star garnets is subtle and requires the correct lighting to see the star clearly. The best lighting is bright sunlight in the middle of the day where the sun is directly overhead. Using a focussed light like a narrow beam halogen spotlight or a small flashlight that can be focussed to a narrow beam will also work. Then stand directly above the stone and look straight down to see the star.

The Blackish Star Diopside

Star Diopside On Ring

Star Diopside

Star Diopsides are opaque and glossy black with a four-ray star. They are quite similar in appearance to black star sapphires, which has a six-rayed star.

Black star diopside is generally a blackish or blackish green color;rarely a definite green. It is, of course, cut into round or oval cabochons which are generally biconvex with a roughly shaped, unpolished base. The star characteristically has a fore rays, two of which are straight, while the other two, not at right angles to the first pair, look slightly wavy (the crystal does not, in fact, have fourfold symmetry).

Diopside based ceramics and glass-ceramics have potential applications in various technological areas. A diopside based glass-ceramic named ‘silceram’ was produced by scientists from Imperial College, UK during 1980s from blast furnace slag and other waste products.

Black Star Diopside is a very creative stone and can bring creativity to the bearer. It can also help with analysis and logic as an assistant to learning. It is also said to be related to love, commitment, and the inner heart. It is traditionally said to be helpful for healing trauma, partly by bringing cleansing tears.

Spodumene Rock Mineral

Spodumene

Spodumene

Spodumene is a rock forming mineral in granites and pegmatites that bear other lithium minerals. Spodumene is a relatively new mineral to science, being discovered in the last three centuries and gem varieties have only been discovered in the last 120 years. The name refers to the mineral spodumene, Greek for ash-colored, because the non-gem crystals are mostly opaque, white to yellowish.

Spodumene colors are white, colorless, gray, pink, lilac, violet, yellow and green. Spodumene is a relatively new mineral to science, being discovered in the last three centuries and gem varieties have only been discovered in the last 120 years. Transparent deeply colored spodumene has two varieties called Kunzite and Hiddenite. Kunzite is the more common of the two and is known by most gemstone collectors and fanciers. It is a lovely pink to lilac color that is unique in the gem kingdom.

Spodumene is strongly pleochroic, meaning there is a color intensity variation when a crystal of it is viewed from different directions.
Spodumene deposits are found in Afghanistan, Brazil, Madagascar, Pakistan and the United States (California, North Carolina and South Dakota).

Spinel Gemstone

Spinel Gemstones

Spinel

Spinel is the magnesium aluminium member of the larger spinel group of minerals. Some of the rarest gems in the world are spinels, even if many of them were once believed to be rubies or sapphires. For example, the enormous Black Prince’s Ruby that adorns the Imperial State Crown of the United Kingdom is actually a spinel, after a long history: Henry V even wore it on his battle helmet! The Timur ruby, a 361-carat red spinel now owned by Queen Elizabeth, has the names of some of the Mughal emperors who previously owned it engraved on its face: an undeniable pedigree!. But in fact all natural spinel are fairly rare, and that’s why they can be difficult to find in jewelry stores. It is also, paradoxically, why the prices for spinel are still reasonable.

In Burma (now known as Myanmar), where some of the most beautiful colours are mined, spinel was recognised as a separate gem species as early as 1587. In other countries the masquerade went on for hundreds of years. Spinels were most often referred to as ‘balas rubies’, which may have referred to their colour or their country of origin.

Natural spinel is a very fine gemstone indeed, with many characteristics that make it the near-equal of ruby and sapphire. Spinel is a magnesium aluminate, typically colored by chromium and iron and, occasionally, cobalt. It is very hard (8 on the Mohs scale, compared to 9 for ruby and sapphire), and it forms as a cubic crystal like a diamond. Spinel is a durable gemstone that is perfect for all jewellery uses. It is most often faceted in oval, round, or cushion shapes and is not currently found in calibrated sizes due to its rarity.

Spinel occurs in octahedral crystals but fortunately has very poor cleavage (unlike diamond, which has perfect cleavage). Due to spinel’s very good dispersion, gem spinels can possess vivid fire, and the intensity of spinel color is in part due to the fact that spinel is one of the few singly refractive gemstones (the others being garnet and diamond).

Recently some high quality African spinel has come on the market, with some pieces in good sizes. It has found some excellent spinel from Tanzania in red, pink, violet, and blue; and occasionally in unusual colors such as orange and purple. The supply of Burmese spinel is very limited but steady, and the material is generally of very high quality.

Sphene Gemstone

Sphene

Sphene

Titanite, or sphene (from the Greek sphenos, meaning wedge, because of its typical wedge shaped crystal habit. The mineralogical name “Titanite” derives from its titanium contents. It is a brilliant yellowish-green, green or brown gemstone of high luster, unique color shades and, with brilliant cut, an intensive fire that can approximate diamond. While in demand for a long time, sphene has been a rare gem on the market. New deposits have now increased market quantities.

When Sphene is cut properly, it shows its fire and radiance to its full glory. The gemstone is found in combination with titanium and is therefore also named Titanite. As Sphene is a soft gemstone and prone to abrasions, adequate care should be taken while using it. In the gemstone marts, it is considered to be a rare specimen.
