Most people know their own birthstone. Many mothers learn the birthstones of their children. I don’t think it’s against the average consensus to say that most men don’t know their own birthstone…

Do you ever stop and watch people as they shop? Some people are born to shop and it shows—they walk into the store knowing exactly where everything is (even if they’ve never been there before), grab everything on their list (which is undoubtedly a mental list—they don’t need paper!), pay at the register and they are out within 10 minutes.

Then there are those other people who have only one item on their list and spend half an hour trying to make a decision. For instance, maybe they want to buy some juice…but what kind? They can stare at the juice isle forever before finally deciding to get the first one they picked up!

These yellow gold earrings hold a variety of precious gems within their little flasks. The earrings include purple amethyst, icy blue aquamarine, yellow citrine, white diamond, and golden green Peridot all mixed together to form a colorful array of gems. Check them out!

Sometimes a mixture of contrasting shapes and colors can make for a very unique and beautiful piece of jewelry. Think of it as abstract art. In abstract art, artists use lines and curves, contrasting pieces, to create a piece that somehow flows in an entirely original design that gets people thinking and improvising.

This ring, created by the jewelers at Lorenzo, is crafted of 14K yellow gold. The piece features a contrasting pattern of circles and rectangles. The ring is comprised of seven purple radiant cut amethyst stones and six round cut orange (Madeira) colored citrines.

Bid on this lovely ring, size US-7/EU-14.51, valued at $699.00 retail. This ring is part of our Main Street Collection, so it can make for a beautiful gift or a great piece to resale (if that’s your angle). Good luck to all bidders!

Freshwater pearls are not named for their fresh look and feel, though they very well could be. Natural freshwater pearls occur in mussels and are developed the same way oysters develop saltwater pearls. When a foreign material enters the mussel and cannot be expelled, the mollusk coats it using nacre, the same secretion it uses to create its shell. The end product is a gorgeous, shiny pearl!

White, off white, peach colored and other light pearls offer a very refreshing look. Especially when paired with other fresh gems, such as citrine as used in this necklace. This 30 inch freshwater pearl and citrine necklace can be worn long or doubled up for a classy, Jackie-O look.

We often feature pearl necklaces and other pearl jewelry in our online jewelry auction. Keep your eyes peeled for the perfect pearl piece to add to your collection and good luck!
