Since their lucky numbers are three and five, how about choosing a multi strand necklace for them with this number of rows of beads? My Carolina Collections Jewelry Shop has a lovely range of 3 and 5 strand beaded necklaces.

How about this goldtone Scorpio bracelet? It is a clamper style and features a cute scorpion charm dangle and is available at the give away price of $4.99 from Vintage Jewelry Mall.


Dark Red? That is an easy one. All of my stores have a lovely range of red jewelry to choose from. How about this blood red rhinestone brooch that incorporates both their color and their love of flowers. It's available on Vintage Jewelry Lane for only $18.99


Since Scorpios love to be near the water, they would probably appreciate any piece of jewelry with a nautical theme.

Finally, here is a Georgian poem which depicts the Scorpio personality well:

Who keeps an arrow in his bow,
And if you prod, he lets it go?
A fervent friend,
a subtle foe-Scorpio!

Jewelry and Astrology - Gemini

This blog post is another in my series about choosing jewelry suitable for individual star signs. Today's astrological sign is Gemini, which is the sign for those born between May 21-June 20. The sign is depicted as Twins or a face with two heads.

Zodiac Logo courtesy of zodiac-signs-astrology.com/

Those born under the sign of the twins are said to have gained the reputation of being the great talkers of the Zodiac. They are thought to be versatile and adapt to changes easily. They are youthful and energetic and this makes them a delight to be around. On the negative side, a Gemini can have moods that change from moment to moment. Sometimes tjey will argue just for the sake of arguing, and can be somewhat fickle at times.

To get a clue about what sort of Jewelry to choose for your Gemini friend let's have a look at some of these Zodiac facts about the star sign:
  • Their Birthstones are emerald and Agate
  • Their lucky numbers are are 3 and 4
  • Their lucky colors are pink, yellow, light blue, silver and gray
  • Their favorite flowers are orchids and lilacs
Of course, you can always just pick up some jewelry that has the Gemini logo on it, but how about being a bit more creative and using these facts to choose a "Gemini inspired" gift?

One thing that pops to mind with me is the fact that they are the sign of the twins, so reversible jewelry might inspire them, such as a ring which has a setting that revolves like this swivel ring with one side black and one white. It would certainly show the complexity of the character of this star sign well. This pretty glass swivel ring is available at Vintage Jewelry Lane for only $11.25.

The fact that agate is associated with Geminis made this gemstone a logical choice. Here is some lovely agate jewelry that is available in my stores. There are even some in the gemini favorite colors, so you would get two traits for the price of one. The styles are available for prices between $9.99 and $13.25 . Just click the pictures to go to the listing pages.


And if you would like to incorporate the lucky numbers of 3 and 4 into your gift, nothing will fit the bill better than a 3 or 4 multi strand necklace. Here a couple. I have many more multi strand necklaces in all my shops. The set is $28 and the pink glass necklace is $24.



And if you want to use the flowers as part of your gift, I have a lovely orchid demi parure available at Carolina Collections Vintage Jewelry for only $11.99.

Now go wow your Gemini friend with the perfect gift!
