Jewelry and Astrology - Pisces

This blog post is another in my series about choosing jewelry suitable for individual star signs. Pisces is the star sign for those born between February 20 and March 20.

Those born under the sign of Pisces are said to be compassionate, devoted and imaginative. On the negative side they can be seen to be a bit oversensitive, indecisive and somewhat of an escapist.

To get a clue about what sort of Jewelry to choose for your Pisces friend let's have a look at some of these Zodiac facts:

• The primary color is Lilac or purple
• Gemstones associated with the sign are diamonds, amethyst and bloodstone
• Lucky numbers are 5 and 8
• Best locations are the seashore or coastal cities

Combining these ideas gives me lots of possibilites for choices for a jewelry gift for your Piscean friend. How about this lovely purple banded glass stone in lovely amethyst colors with a pretty filigree heart pendant? It is available in my Carolina Collections Vintage Jewelry store for only $10.75.

Since Pisces loves the water, you couldn't go wrong with any seaside themed jewelry. Does she like vintage sweater guards? Look at this sweet seahorse sweater guard with creamy faux pearls and cute little seahorses on either end. It's available in my Vintage Jewelry Mall store for only $12.99 and is just adorable.

If you are looking for something a little more extravagant for your friend, consider this stunning vintage cameo brooch. It is handcarved from genuine shell cameo and is marked 800 for its silver content, so it uses her lucky number too. This exquisite shell cameo brooch is available in my Vintage Jewelry Lane store for $96.99

Check back soon for the next chapter in this series, when I will discuss jewelry ideas for your Aries friend.

Jewelry and Astrology - Aquarius

I think it is fun to read my horoscope and sites that talk about astrology and the Zodiac signs. I thought it would be kind of neat to do a series about jewelry choices for each of the zodiac signs.

Since it is February, the Zodiac sign that I'll discuss is Aquarius - those born between January 20 and February 18.

Those born under the sign of Aquarius are said to be friendly by nature, independent thinkers with original and creative thoughts. They are highly inventive and often humanitarian. On the negative side, they are thought to be somewhat rebellious and eccentric and can be a bit unpredictable and stubborn.

If you have an Aquarian friend, you might find her adventurous with a sensitive nature, so that her feelings get easily hurt.

We can get a clue about what type of jewelry might suit an Aquarian by some of these zodiac facts about the sign:

• Turquoise is the primary color
  
• The birthstone is garnet or amethyst
  
• Lucky numbers are 8 and 4
  
• Lucky colors and blue and green in pastel shades

Combining some of these ideas gives me lots of possibilities to suggest for jewelry for an Aquarian. How about Native American Jewelry? The designs often include imitation or genuine turquoise stones with sterling silver, and the colors blue and green both fit into this idea - turquoise comes in both the traditional color and also green turquoise.

How can you use the numbers to help you make a jewelry choice? Necklaces with more than one row would do the trick. How about selecting a blue or green multi strand necklace? If you choose one with four or eight rows of beads, you would make her a very lucky gal. This pretty set from West Germany has the loveliest pastel green beads and matching earrings.

Amethyst and garnet jewelry is plentiful, but can be expensive. What about purple or blood red rhinestone jewelry for the same look but at a fraction of the price? This lovely parure features amethyst colors and is so reasonably priced at only $13.50 for all three pieces.
