A Fun Look at Birthstones and Their Meanings

Gemstones are timeless pieces of jewelry that have been coveted for their beauty for centuries- ancient Indians and Babylonians believed that certain gems carried strange and wonderful cosmological powers, and some historians assert that it may have been the Assyrians who first attached meanings to desired gems as early as 1400 B.C.

Regardless of whether you believe in the mystic powers and meanings behind your birthstone, it’s always fun to have a look at the stone that matches your birth month and its fabled benefits. Here they are:

January- It is said it can prevent nightmares and snakebites and provide directional guidance in darkness. Wearers may see an increase in their self-image, will power and energy levels, and nervous people may feel calmer. Faith, love and constancy are its attributes.

February- Purple amethyst speaks of peace, temperance, serenity and royalty. Wearing this stone may protect you from the effects of drunkenness. The Pope always wears an amethyst ring.

March- Pale blue aquamarine gemstones are associated with good health, youth, love and hope. Wearing this gem may reawaken married love, build your courage and increase your happiness.

April- Diamonds come in several colors, but they share the same association with eternal love and invincibility. It was once believed that they could also ward off insanity.

May- Green emeralds speak of health, faithfulness, fertility and improved eyesight.

June- The cool, milky beauty of pearls suggest chastity, modesty and stable marriage relationships.

July- Red rubies are tokens of harmony and peace. Their beauty speaks of strength and nobility of character. Wearers may attract both good luck and good friends.

August- Tradition says you will be able to successfully ward off evil, enchantments and depression if you wear or carry peridot (the light green peridot is August’s birthstone).

September- Sapphires speak of dignity, loyalty, serenity, faith, purity and wisdom.

October- Opals and tourmaline represent hope, creativity and innocence. They also protect the wearer from envious, mal-intentioned people.

November- Yellow topaz and citrine are associated with strength and healing for both body and mind. They offer protection to travelers and support good mental health.

December- Turquoise, blue topaz and tanzanite represent a happy life that is filled with good fortune. Ancient practitioners believed that turquoise would actually change color when the wearer was ill or in danger.

Aside from our signature Hoop Earrings, Hoops Baby! offers a vast selection of gorgeous Fashion Jewelry for all style preferences. For more information on our product, call 1-213-741-0714, or email info@hoopsbaby.com.

Be Bold This Fall With Our Fabulous Statement Pieces!

This Fall season, don’t be afraid to be adventurous with your jewelry- BOLD is IN! Besides being the ideal time of year when you can start layering up and sporting statement pieces, this Fall is the time to crank it up a notch. From the three R’s (Red Carpet, Runway, and Real-Life), we derived the leading jewelry trends for this Fall and we love what we’re seeing: out-of-the-ordinary colors, geometric shapes, stackable bracelets, and so much more.

Colors

"This is a season of untypical colors—more reflective of the imagination and ingenuity, which makes for an artful collection of colors and combinations not bound by the usual hues for fall." -Letrice Eiseman, Executive Director at the Pantone Color Institute.

Pantone, the self-proclaimed color authority, has chosen its 2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid. Other popular colors to rock this fall are orange, blue, and yellow gold. Check out our elegant, gold color Oval Chandelier Earrings that feature blue rhinestones for a show-stopping entrance.

Shapes

Chevrons and pyramids: These shapes are both timeless and trendy. A number of newer designers are using a pyramid as a signature motif, while the chevron, a fixture in heraldry and insignia—and relatable to the pyramid with its triangular point—is appearing more in collections by other up-and-comers.  Together, the symbols blend seamlessly and are celebrated by young artists and mass merchants alike in fresh, fun ways that are salable and nod to the rocker-chic aesthetic celebrated in punk-inspired fashion.

Geometric: Strong geometric forms (pyramids, circles, etc.) perfectly parallel angular frocks, graphic prints and logos, and menswear-inspired styles, which were big spring staples that now need a boost.
