The Charm Of Turquoise Jewelry
It would be difficult to find a lady’s jewelry wardrobe that does not contain at least one sterling silver turquoise pendant or some other piece of jewelry that is designed around turquoise. And if you are in the West, you should also expect to see a turquoise bolo tie or a pair of turquoise cuff links as part of a man’s wardrobe! Turquoise has always had a special place in the culture, fashion, and folklore of the American Southwest. The ties with the Native Americans in the southwest go back at least a millennium! Turquoise was found in Cerrillos near Santa Fe. Historic records show that tribes in this area were trading turquoise with Mexicans some six hundred miles away! In addition to being a beautiful stone, early Americans also believed in the mystical and spiritual powers of this stone. They believed that this joined together the heavens and earth, and was a symbol of male and female powers and energies. Warriors wore turquoise into battle because they believed that it protected them in war. This special relationship with turquoise was by no means restricted to the Southwest. In the big picture in fact, America is a relative new comer to the world of turquoise. Ancient civilizations including the Egyptians, Aztecs and the Incas all had a deep regard for turquoise. The Egyptians in particular who discovered the stone nearly six thousand years ago associated it with the Goddess Hathor and the Sun God Ra. New Age believers claim that turquoise has a calming effect and helps soothe frayed emotions and tempers.
While Native American tribes strung together chunks of turquoise to form crude jewelry several centuries ago, Southwestern jewelry as an artform truly received a strong impetus with the advent of the Europeans. The Europeans brought with them silver and techniques to work with silver. Native artists soon mastered the art of creating superb silver settings, and using these settings to frame local precious and semi-precious stones. Of all the various styles of Southwestern jewelry, none is more famous or more popular than silver jewelry with turquoise inlay. Creating the intricate setting and then working with individual pieces of stone to complete the piece requires a great deal of skill, something that is passed on from generation to generation. Some of the current trends in fashion jewelry include adding turquoise accent beads to cultured pearl necklaces or alternating turquoise and red coral beads in a flexible bangle bracelet.

Coral And Coral Reefs $1.19 pubOne.info present you this new edition. THE subject upon which I wish to address you to-night is the structure and origin of Coral and Coral Reefs. Under the head of "coral" there are included two very different things; one of them is that substance which I imagine a great number of us have champed when we were very much younger than we are now, – the common red coral, which is used so much, as you know, for the edification and the delectation of children of tender years, and is also employed for the purposes of ornament for those who are much older, and as some think might know better. The other kind of coral is a very different substance; it may for distinction’s sake be called the white coral; it is a material which most assuredly not the hardest-hearted of baby farmers would give to a baby to chew, and it is a substance which is to be seen only in the cabinets of curious persons, or in museums, or, may be, over the mantelpieces of sea-faring men. But although the red coral, as I have mentioned to you, has access to the very best society; and although the white coral is comparatively a despised product, yet in this, as in many other cases, the humbler thing is in reality the greater; the amount of work which is done in the world by the white coral being absolutely infinite compared with that effected by its delicate and pampered namesake |
