It's December! And, we're so very excited to welcome the holidays with December's magnificent birthstones: the calming blue topaz and the intensely beautiful tanzanite.
Topaz is an ancient gemstone— rich with history and symbolic meaning. It has been associated with love, devotion, tranquility, and even healing effects. The pure form is a clear, colorless or white gemstone, with the slightest of impurities resulting in a variety of translucent colors. Blue topaz is a stone that rarely occurs in nature, instead most often resulting from treatment of natural topaz. The topaz is irradiated with energy, and the resulting stone gleams with a brilliant blue. Our Jude Frances blue topaz jewelry holds a subtle, elegant charm, inspiring without overwhelming.
Discovered in 1967 Tanzania, the tanzanite is known best for its intensity. Ranging from ultramarine blue to a deep violet, the stone has become one of the most popular for contemporary jewelry. Its rarity and passionate visage has left it a highly sought after stone in the world of fine jewelry. Having been discovered so recently, tanzanite lacks the rich history of other birthstones, but makes up for any loss of symbolism with unmitigated beauty. The boldness in tanzanite jewelry by Erica Courtney or Alex Sepkus offers a deeply emotional, poignant aesthetic.
December birthstones offer incredible potential for gorgeous fine jewelry in Destin, FL. The tranquility of blue topaz and the ardor of tanzanite bring nearly endless possibilities for the most alluring and elegant jewelry: a graceful pair of Erica Courtney earrings, a dazzling necklace by Alex Sepkus, or a harmonious ring from Jude Frances. Join us at McCaskill & Company to view our collection of fine topaz and tanzanite jewelry, and begin this holiday season with December's birthstones!
