When we started this journey together who knew where it would bring us? We love finding you and fun ways to look at jewelry and the amount it impacts our day-to-day lives!
From looking at precious and semi-precious gems, then birthstones, then colours and what they represent in my world of jewelry.
We hope you’re enjoying our introduction to Astrology and the Zodiac and their impact on gems and jewelry. Zodiac signs have roots in myth and legend.
Did you know that the origin of the word “zodiac” comes from a Greek word meaning circle of animals? Every zodiac sign has a healing crystal and gemstone associated with it

Welcome Virgo
Virgo August 23 – September 22
Virgo - 6th sign of the Zodiac…practical, hard-working and analytical. In addition, they are kind, grounded, and trustworthy…happy to help anyone in need.
Traits People born under Virgo are said to have a practical approach to life. They are immensely talented at assessing the details of any situation and finding solutions to problem-solve. They are natural-born organizers who value consistency, loyalty, and productivity. They are perfectionists who analyze and plan everything down to the last detail …a trait that sometimes leads to obsessiveness. Virgo is a bit prone to anxiety or worry.
If you are Virgo you share these traits with, Beyonce, Hugh Grant, Cameron Diaz, Pink, Idris Elba, Amy Poehler, Salma Hayek, Keanu Reeves, Richard Gere, Blair Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and Michael Buble. What a very interesting group!
Perhaps you are born on the cusp and associate with a different sign?
