Oooh Sparklies!

Annette Piper, certified gemologist, makes some wonderful sparkly jewelry. Find out more about her at her blog “Under the Loupe” or her own website.

If you ever wanted to know about a particular gemstone, she also has a section on her website with all gems from A to Z and all their facts & lore. I’m drawn to amethysts (fourth one down on the page) since I was born in February and my favorite color is purple. Did you know that in ancient Greece amethysts were worn to ward off drunkenness? I suppose it worked because I’ve always worn a ring with amethysts and I’ve never really drunk enough to get past tipsy… Very interesting.
