Pendant with emerald, sapphires, white topaz and garnet

This 46 x 20 mm pendant is crafted from rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver and features faceted circular stones: colored sapphires, white topaz, and emeralds (3 mm), complemented by a faceted teardrop-shaped garnet (7 x 4 mm). The pendant's design is leaf-shaped, with the stones representing the seasons, each season symbolized by a different color. It is a delicate and elegant piece.

Garnet:

In garnet, the colors are more intense due to the presence of iron; they are dark crimson, purple-violet, brown, and dark red-orange. It is said that Noah used a garnet lamp to guide his ark through the darkness of night.

Origin: Madagascar.

Properties: It is regenerative, provides vitality and willpower.

Zodiac sign: Aries

Topaz Bank:

Topaz is an aluminum silicate. It is often used as a substitute for diamonds because of its use as a gemstone and its variety of colors. The central "diamond" of the Portuguese crown is a topaz, although of course no one is going to say so; it's an open secret.

Origin: Pakistan.

Properties: It is an ideal gem for sensitive and vulnerable people. It helps to balance the nervous system.

Sign: Gemini, Leo, Libra, Scorpio.

Sapphire:

The elements that give it color are iron and titanium in blue sapphire, and vanadium in violet. Iron determines the yellow and green tones, chromium the pink color, and inclusions of rutile needles produce a silky luster. In ancient European and Indian cultures, it was considered the stone of Saturn, representing the sky, the world of angels, magic, loyalty, and friendship. In antiquity, and to some extent even into the Middle Ages, the term sapphire was generally understood to refer to what is now known as lapis lazuli.

Origin: Sri Lanka.

Properties: It provides uprightness, instills wisdom, and enhances judgment and the structuring of thoughts. Known as the stone of wisdom.

Zodiac sign: Pisces

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.
