Emerald, ruby ​​and pearl earrings with 24k gold plating

These 35 x 11 mm hoop earrings are crafted from 925 sterling silver with a 24k gold plating. They feature two oval emeralds, each 5 x 4 mm, one surrounded by a 2 mm ruby, while the other is adorned with a 10 mm pearl. This is a delicate and elegant piece.

Ruby:

It belongs to the corundum family, and its color is due to chromium inclusions; in brownish tones, it is iron. In ancient European and Hindu cultures, the ruby ​​was unanimously considered the stone of the sun. It represents vital force, inner fire, love, and passion. The most prized color is pigeon's blood, a pure red with a subtle bluish tint.

Origin: Madagascar.

Properties: It stimulates sexual activity, mentally awakens our thoughts, and in terms of attitude makes us more active, productive, courageous, impulsive, and spontaneous; the ruby ​​is an excellent stone for activating energies.

Zodiac sign: Scorpio

Pearl:

Pearls are produced by saltwater bivalves (mostly of the genus Pinctata), some freshwater bivalves, and occasionally some gastropods. Pearls result from a reaction that occurs when foreign bodies penetrate between the shell and the mantle of the bivalve or gastropod, or even penetrate the mantle itself. The epithelium forms the shell through nacreous secretions, but it also coats any foreign bodies that lodge in this area.

In Europe, pearls were an exclusive privilege of rulers. It is believed that the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus was the first to successfully cultivate perfectly rounded pearls in freshwater mollusks in 1761.

Properties: It is said that the pearl attracts fortune to the person who possesses it and also attracts happiness and good energies.

Origin: Japan

Sign: Cancer

Emerald:

The green color comes from a mixture of other minerals, including chromium, vanadium, and iron, which gives it a bluish tint. In natural light, the true essence of emeralds is easier to discern, while artificial light can expose internal fractures in the stone caused by the glare. In ancient European and Indian cultures, the emerald was associated with Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the god of journeys, sleep, and dreams, and was therefore considered the stone of divine inspiration.

Origin: Africa.

Properties: Inspires, provides patience, unconditional love, fosters friendship.

Sign: Taurus, Libra, Leo.
