National Woman's Day 2013


At the Gem Garden we feel that National Woman's Day should be recognized. Women make a difference in our world everyday from  little acts of kindness to risking their own lives for what they believe in. This day we need to acknowledge the work of women in the past and build on it to make a better future. 

Gem Garden would like to say thank you to all the woman by offering 10% off of your purchase this Friday March 8th, 2013.

March Birthstone: Aquamarine

Aquamarine gets its name from the Latin term for seawater. It is the Birthstone for March as well as the recommended stone for couples who have reached their 19th Anniversary. 

This stone has a beautiful pale blue or sometimes blue-green/aqua color- hence its name. It is a delicate hue which allows it to be paired with almost anything. Aquamarine looks impressive in the rough and faceted state.

 Aquamarine is said to enhance your intuition and courage. It is also known as a healing stone that soothes and relieves stress. Along with holding special mystical powers that protect against the devil, quickens the intellect, attracts new friends, and has the ability to help couples smooth out their differences. 

 It is commonly found in Brazil, Pakistan, and the U.S.

Be festive this month and wear or purchase a great piece of Aquamarine!
