Cleopatra’s Emerald

Cleopatra cuts no lone figure among the celebrated list of royalty who showed off their personal collection of emerald jewelry. Cleopatra reportedly adorned herself and her palace chambers with emerald jewelry and even gifted them to foreign dignitaries and ambassadors. However, it is believed that Cleopatra intended this more as a display of her power and wealth rather than to strengthen international ties.

Mystical Talismans

For centuries, people and cultures around the world believed emerald jewelry could be used as talismans because of mystical powers. Many people wore emerald jewelry as they believed it would confer wealth and power when worn on their body. These gems were also believed to strengthen memory an sharpen one’s wit. However, it’s most valuable power was bestowing its wearer with the ability to see into the future.

In the past eras, the Spanish, Arabs and Hindus believed that emerald jewelry could be used to cure dysentery, infection, poison and even protection against possession by demons.

To Soothe Vision

Emerald’s soothing green hue was believed to relieve fatigue from tired eyes. A number of gem cutters around the world kept emeralds on their benches. After long hours of close work with other gemstones, gem cutters would relieve stress from their eyes by looking at emerald jewelry.

Revealer of Truths

In the medieval times, emerald jewelry was held in high regard as a revealer of truths. People believed emerald jewelry could cut through spells and illusions. Many wore emeralds around their necks or held them in a small pouch that they carried everywhere to protect them from curses and evil eyes.

Offering to the Gods

Avant-Garde Navaratna Studs

In the past, practising Hindus believed that offering emerald jewelry to the gods would invoke rewards and blessings from Lord Krishna. Hindu teachings also associate emerald jewelry with the planet Mercury, which has given rise to the Navaratna setting.

Western tradition, on the other hand, associates emerald jewelry with the planet, Venus. This is possibly influenced by Greek and Roman mythology where the Goddess Aphrodite or Venus emerges from the sea. As a result, western mythology matches the sea-green colour of the emerald with the Roman goddess’ namesake planet.

The Wealth of Cities

During the Age of Exploration or the Age of Discovery which lasted between the 15th and 17th centuries, there were several ancient myths and tales surrounding precious stones in India, emeralds being one of them. Europeans were keen to find the mysterious and legendary land that was believed to have enormous wealth. Wealth where entire walls and temples were covered in emerald jewelry and other precious gemstones. As history would have it, once these stories spread across Europe, several countries dispatched ships to discover the New World.

The Breastplate of Aaron

Many scholars continue to debate whether the breastplate of Aaron does include emeralds as described in the Book of Exodus. However, over the centuries, with different versions of the text being produced in multiple languages, the names of gemstones have been applied a lot more broadly and liberally than what gemologists would today. For instance, ancients used the term saphirus to describe any blue stone, but the breastplate is also believed to be adorned by sapphires. Similarly, emeralds could have been present on the breastplate or could be any green stone.

Other Myths Surrounding Emerald Jewelry

There are several other myths and legends surrounding the lush green gem. Embalmers in Egypt would bury royalty with emerald jewelry to grant them eternal youth in the afterlife. Many cultures use emeralds for protection while on long journeys. The belief was that anyone in possession of emerald jewelry would receive God’s protection.

Doctors and healers considered the stone to hold healing powers, both physical and mystical. It was believed to relive one of depression and insomnia and cure heart, kidney, lymph node and backbone related issues.

We hope this journey through the ages with emerald jewelry has inspired you to by some of your own. Head to Gehna today and immerse yourself in the vivid beauty of the emerald. Be sure to check out our blog on elegant emerald jewelry for a Taurus woman.

Gold Comes In Different Colours

Gold is always yellow in its naturally occurring state. However, because of the presence of white, gold, rose gold, etc., many believe that gold is available in several colours. However, these are merely alloys of gold – made by mixing pure gold with other metals like iron, silver, or platinum. For instance, white gold is an amalgamation of gold, nickel and palladium, while rose gold combines gold, silver and copper.

The 12 Gemstones Came From The 12 Tribes of Israel

The origin of this myth is based on true events. King Solomon built the first ever Jewish Temple and the High Priest at the time wore a breastplate adorned with 12 gemstones that were believed to be representative of the twelve tribes of Jerusalem. From there, the idea evolved to be birthstones for each month of the year. These stone were matched to each month without any specific reason. It was only at the beginning of the 20th century that modern birthstone list as we know it today began taking shape. You can also check out our blog on the traits of a Taurus woman based on her birthstone.

Pearls Can Dissolve In Vinegar

There is some truth to this myth as pearls are porous and the most delicate among all precious gems. As a result, these stones can dissolve in vinegar, hover, the process is slow and would take several days. The myth began when Cleopatra wanted to throw an extremely lavish dinner party and began throwing pearls into her in her drink. Although it is possible to dissolve pearls quickly by crushing them, history has exaggerated this fact over the years. If you’re intrigued by this classic gemstone, here’s our blog on all you need to know about pearls.

Sapphires Are Only Blue In Colour

While sapphires are synonymous with their cerulean shade, a little-known fact is that these precious stones are available in many other colours apart from blue. Depending on the number of impurities found in the stone, the colour changes from blue to a lighter blue or sometimes to a completely different colour. For instance, the standard blue sapphire contains traces of titanium and iron. The presence of vanadium changes sapphires to purple, while iron turns them yellow. Head over to our blog on myths and legends that surround the blue sapphire for more interesting facts.

Diamonds Are The World’s Rarest Gemstone

Diamonds hold the mantle of the world’s rarest gem. While they are among the rarest in the world that their value surpasses other stones like emeralds, rubies, sapphires, etc., a few other stones like painite, bixbyite, jeremejevite, serendibite, musgravite, benitoite, taaffeite and garnierite are much rarer.

Diamonds Are Indestructible

This is among the most widespread myths related to jewellery. Diamonds are in fact among the most durable gemstones in the world and score a 10 on the Moh’s scale of hardness. However, a level 10 classification means it cannot be scratched. And while diamonds do last the longest because of their composition, they can crack under extreme heat and pressure. Therefore it is essential for you to take care of your jewellery

The Bigger The Stone, The More Expensive It Is

It would seem the most natural thing to assume, that the price point of a gemstone directly depends on its size. However, this is far from true, as a stone’s price depends on the 4Cs – cut, colour, carat and clarity. It is entirely possible for a diamond to have a mediocre colour and cut but be large in size and still cost less than a diamond with high-quality cut and colour,  but be small in size. As a rule of thumb, it is always best to choose diamonds based on their overall qualities rather than focussing on their size alone.

Buying jewellery and precious stones is always an investment, and you shouldn’t be held back by myths and legends. With time, more and more myths surrounding jewellery are bound to crop up. While some of them make for fun stories, it’s always a good idea to know the difference between fact and fiction.

Baking soda for Silver Jewelry

Silver jewelry is always the first to lose its sheen. Thankfully, there’s a natural home remedy if you’re wondering how to clean silver jewelry at home. Tarnished silver can be polished using a chemical process called ion transfer. All you will need is some aluminum foil, baking soda, salt, and detergent.

To begin, line a baking pan with some aluminum foil and place your silver jewelry in it. Then put a tablespoon each of baking soda, salt, and mild detergent into the pan. Pour enough hot water to cover your jewelry. Let it soak for ten minutes before flipping them over and letting them soak for another ten minutes. Once 20 minutes is up, remove your jewelry from the dish and rinse it off. You can also check out our blog on how to keep your silver jewelry sparkling.

Beer for Gold Jewelry

It is heartbreaking when your once resplendent gold jewelry loses it glow. If you’re looking for a reliable gold jewelry cleaner, then you’re in for a surprise. Beer comes in handy when you need a DIY gold jewelry cleaner. All you need to do is get some light bear (opt for a lager or pilsner), soak a cloth in it and then use it to wipe your gold jewelry. This simple yet effective cleansing method will have your gold jewelry sparkling like brand new! Just bear in mind that beer should only be used with plain gold or gold-plated jewelry and not anything that has stones.

Toothpaste for Diamond Jewelry

Another surprising home remedy is using toothpaste to clean your diamond jewelry. Diamonds are one of the sturdiest elements, but that doesn’t mean you subject your diamond jewelry to harsh chemical cleaners. Instead, merely polish your jewels with some toothpaste and a soft old toothbrush. Rub a pea-sized amount of toothpaste onto your necklace, earrings or rings, and then gently buff with your toothbrush. Rinse with water once done. Your diamonds will be glittering like new once again. You can also read our informative blog on how to identify real diamonds.

Dish Soap Soak for Stone Jewelry

For jewelry that has many stones, you’ll need to be careful as different elements can react differently to chemicals. The easiest way to clean stone jewelry at home is using your dish soap. Mix a teaspoon of your dish soap with water and soak your stone jewelry in it for about ten minutes. Gently buff with an old toothbrush and then rinse under cold water. The soap will get rid of any dirt and grime hidden in between your stones.

Mild Soap and Water for Soft or Porous Stones

Pearls, emeralds, opal, turquoise, etc. are examples of porous stones. As a result, you need to be extra careful about the kind of cleanser you use to clean them. Anything harsh will discolor your gems or cause irreversible damage. The best remedy will be to use mild soap and water. Don’t soak your jewels in this solution for too long, in fact, avoid soaking at all if you can. Just wash your gems in this mixture, rinse and wipe with a soft cloth to remove stains or dirt of any kind. If you’re cleaning your pearl jewelry, read our blog on how to take care of your pearls.

Tea-tree Oil and White Vinegar for Sturdy Jewelry

Tea-tree oil is one of the best substitutes for several commercially available chemical cleansers available today. It is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal essential oil. Tea-tree oil is known for having a strong scent, but it makes for an excellent homemade jewelry cleaner. Place all your jewelry in a glass jar and cover entirely with white vinegar or witch hazel. Then add a drop or two of tea-tree oil and swirl it around, so everything is thoroughly mixed. Let your jewelry soak in the mixture overnight. In the morning, coat your jewelry with baking soda and gently scrub with a soft cloth or old toothbrush, before finally rinsing with water. This solution works best for sturdy jewelry like platinum and gemstones, so avoid using it on porous stones.

Now that we’ve provided you with several homemade jewelry cleaners, you will be able to avoid expensive trips to your jewelers. For exquisite handmade jewelry, head over to Gehna. In the meantime, you can check out our blog on tips to organize your jewelry.

Assembling a stylish stack of jewellery isn’t a difficult task. You can master the art with a few basic guidelines. Whether you’re edgy, a minimalist, a free-spirited bohemian or a vintage lover, all you need to remember is to mix various textures, shapes, colours and finishes. But that doesn’t mean you wear every single bracelet in your jewellery box. Stacking jewellery is more about which pieces you wear, rather than how many. Here are a few tips that will help you ace this trend.

Pick a Focal Point

Image Source

When you’re talking about a bracelet stack, try to pick a focal point. Then the rest of your bracelets would act as accents around it to create a textured and varied look. So to choose your focal point, it comes down to what you want to emphasise. This could be your favourite bracelet, a piece that matches your outfit or even a watch. Once you identify your focal point, it becomes easier to pick accent pieces that will highlight rather than overwhelm it. Bracelet stacks with a watch work exceptionally well. The bracelets can dress up and compliment your watch giving it a more elaborate look. Depending on your watch’s band, you can play around with different textures and overall looks.

Mix Materials

Image Source

Forget the rules about pairing like materials. Think out of the box and pair different textures, materials and colours. With stacking bracelets and rings, anything goes. Mixing textures and materials can make your stacking combination look more visually appealing. Experiment with two or three different metals, combine beads with metals, gemstones with leather bands and so on. To create a casual look with your bracelet stack, pair some colourful pieces with leather bracelets. Dress up your outfit by pairing gemstone bracelets with sleek metal pieces.

When it comes to stacking rings, there are no hard and fast rules. Stack multiple rings on one finger and keep the rest of your fingers bare. Experiment with shapes and lines. Try a combination of vertical, horizontal and criss-cross rings. This will create the illusion of negative space and will also give the impression that you aren’t wearing too many rings at once.

Incorporate Various Sizes

Size is a great way to add variety to your bracelet and ring stacks. Stick to one or two cuffs for your bracelet stack and a statement ring for your ring stack. This way, you can avoid your forearm and fingers looking chunky and heavy. Use few broad bands or several thin bands to create different looks and feels.

Play with Colour

The easiest way to do this is by using bracelets and rings in different tints and stones. Make a statement and personalise your look with the gemstone of your birth month. You could use gemstones or metals of other colours as accents. Stagger rings with stones, so they don’t line up vertically. Not only will this be comfortable for you, but it will also look more appealing.

Look for Inspiration

The colour and shape of your bracelets and rings should be inspiration enough. But if you need fresh ideas, take a look at your clothes and try to match your stacks to them. Nature is always a great inspiration. Look for bracelets that reflect animal and floral motifs, like our Tessera Collection.

Comfort matters

If your job involves typing a lot, then wearing a sack of chunky bracelets will hold back on your productivity. Try wearing delicate bracelets and rings, so you get maximum comfort without compromising on style. Similarly, use your rings and bracelets on your non-dominant arm to avoid any discomfort. You can also check out our blog on jewellery styles that work for the office.

The secret to the perfect stack of bracelets and rings is confidence. As long as you love the combination you’ve created, that’s what matters. You can be classical or trendy, vintage or bohemian. Stacking bracelets and rings have no rules.

If you’re feeling inspired to try some ring bracelet stack sets of your own, then head over to Gehna for a wide range of stacking ring and bracelets.

Having a beautiful collection of jewellery is a sense of joy and pride for every woman. Whether it is your engagement ring or exquisite pearl jewellery that your son bought for you with his first paycheck, if you want to maintain the lustre and shine of your ornaments, you need to store them properly.  Jewellery that is stored in a haphazard manner can get damaged or even inadvertently lost. Read on for creative yet practical ways to organise your jewellery.

Stack Them Up

You can avoid breakage, underuse and loss of your jewellery by stacking them up. Try different ways of stacking them. For your earrings, you can purchase a simple earring holder and hang them through the hooks. If you are a person who likes creating and experimenting, DIY an earring caddy with some chicken wire. You can use an old frame that’s been lying around and store your favourite dangly earrings in them.

For your bracelets and bangles, you can use decorative vases. A neat display of these vases will certainly add an artistic feel to your room and also be easily accessible. Another eco-friendly way would be to upcycle those glass bottles lying unused in your kitchen. Use them to stack your bangles and bracelets. A quirky glass design on the bottles will give it an aesthetic look.

Go Old-School with a Jewellery Box

You can’t go wrong with this good old method of storage. Invest in a good jewellery box that is sturdy and has transparent covers in order to identify your baubles easily. Look for a box that has several different compartments in them so that your jewellery doesn’t get tangled. You can also buy separate boxes and categorise your jewellery according to the occasion. Your flashy dangling earrings can fall into the party-wear category, studs and minimalist jewellery into work-wear and heavy, chunky accessories into ethnic-wear.

Pin it On the Wall

Tap the unused potential of walls by hanging your necklaces individually and prevent cluttering. You can buy a ready-made wall hanger or strategically place some pushpins on your dressing area wall to accommodate those quirky, colourful necklaces. You can also customise your own jewellery cabinet with paint, patterned fabric and some hooks. It can hold your necklaces, earrings and the piling up bracelets. However, it’s not the best idea to put your valuable jewellery that’s articulated with precious stones and metal out on display. It can tarnish the piece of jewellery and increase the risk of it getting lost.

Protect Your Precious Beauties

Whether your jewellery is valuable in monetary or sentimental terms, it’s still important to keep your finest jewellery and gems reserved for special occasions, safe and organised. From elegant emerald earrings to that regal ruby necklace, make sure your exquisite ornaments are stored separately in order to avoid any laceration. If you have a vanity or a dresser, you can use little jewellery boxes or drawstring jewellery bags to store these earrings. Store them in a cool and dry place so that they are not exposed to any chance of oxidation.

Pocket Them

The simplest yet effective way of organising your jewellery is storing them in clear pouches. You can find a vast array of ready-made hanging jewellery organisers equipped with small individual pockets. These are ideal for your fashionable rings, earrings and bracelets. They give you clear visibility and can be accessed comfortably. You can mount them over your dressing table for easy use.

Prioritise you Daily-Wear

To make every day hassle-free, you can place your daily-wear in a shallow bowl or a fancy tray on you bedside tabletop. This will give you easy access to it without having to fumble in the morning to find your favourite ring.

Compartmentalise

Consider how you look for your jewellery and according to that, you can organise your collection. You can categorise them according to the colour range or divide them into casual and formal wear. It entirely depends on your preferences. Stacking similar jewellery together will make your life easy to a great extent. You can stow away your small rings in one compartment and all your studs in another. This way you can easily locate your jewellery.

Store it in a Drawer

Drawers are not just for dresses and delicates, you can use them to store your dainty and precious jewellery as well. Layer the drawers with velvet fabric or any other soft material to prevent any laceration. This will not only give you a sophisticated look but also help you to pick out your jewellery in an easy flash due to the contrast. Say goodbye to mismatched earrings, tangled necklaces and missing bangles!

Take the Twig-Sted Approach

To avoid clutter, it’s best to hang your necklaces separately. A simple and a quirky way to display them would be to nail a medium-sized twig to the wall and hang your necklaces there. You can spray paint it in any colour of your choice to add an element of vibrancy to your room.

The post 6 Jewelry Trends to Watch out for in 2018 appeared first on Gehna Blog.

Accessorise for the Occasion

Every ring is beautiful in its own way, but there are some that are better suited for specific occasions. Huge chunky rings go perfectly with high heels when you’re out for a party, but they don’t do so well in the board room. When you’re at work, try to choose minimalist, delicate rings that look polished and elegant. More risqué rings that bring out your rebellious side are better suited for casual meetups with your friends.

Use Statement Rings for a Show Stopping Look

When you want to put together a bold look that will make you the most stylish person in the room, all you need is a big, striking ring. Statement rings are meant to create a sensation so don’t be afraid to push the envelope. These rings come in many different styles but they are all sure to become the focal point of your outfit. You could get a single large stone, a uniquely shaped ring or one that sparkles bright enough to light up the whole room. When you choose to wear a statement ring, make sure the rest of your look is muted so your ring can take center stage.

Don’t try to Match Everything

When you’re choosing a ring, don’t get hung up on picking one that perfectly matches the rest of your outfit. Sometimes you need to break the monotony to create a unique look. If you’re wearing a green dress, green earrings and a green ring, your ring isn’t going to stand out. However, if you choose a plain gold ring or a blue ring, it will catch people’s attention. The same goes for picking patterns. It can be tempting to choose similar patterns to make your jewellery look like a set, but sometimes, a little chaos is a good thing.

Coordinate the Size of your Ring with your other Accessories

When you’re picking out the perfect ring, you need to find one that will make your overall outfitlook cohesive, not cluttered. If you’re wearing big chunky bracelets along with a bold statement ring, the two accessories will clash. This makes your outfit look confused and too jarring. Instead, make sure your ring and the rest of your accessories balance each other out. If you’re wearing large bangles, choose a delicate ring to accentuate it. If, on the other hand, you’re wearing a thin bracelet or nothing at all on your wrist, you can accessorise with a big, bold statement ring.

Play Around with Stackable Rings

Breathtaking Diamond & 18K Yellow Gold Stacking Rings

Stackable rings give you a virtually limitless opportunity to mix and match your rings. Stackable ring sets often come with three or more rings, each with their own pattern, but with a common design element running through them. You can build your own set following the same principles. Experiment with different types of rings, but make sure there’s something common among all of them. It could be the metal used or the stone that embellishes them. Pairing textured rings also adds an unusual element to your stacked rings. Textured rings have distinctive hammered patterns on their surface which set them apart. When you’re stacking rings, it’s also important that you find the perfect balance of large rings and delicate ones. Too many heavy rings will make your set look confused. You can even use midi rings which are beautiful to look at and very unusual.

Make Sure your Ring Fits Perfectly

Looking for a ring can be exciting; however, there are a few points to keep in mind while buying jewellery. Comfort is key when you’re choosing a ring for yourself. If your ring is too tight, it can be close to impossible to remove it. Tight rings can also be painful and cut off your circulation, which is definitely too high a price to pay for the sake of fashion. On the other end of the spectrum, rings that are too loose are dangerous too. These can fall off at any moment, which is especially risky if they’re valuable. Always pick a ring that is tight enough so it won’t fall off, but not so tight that it cuts into your skin.

Rings are one of the most versatile pieces of jewellery you can own. They add a little something extra to your outfit and make your fingers look more slender and feminine. If you’re looking for intricately crafted, distinctive accessories, visit Gehna. Our jewellery is handcrafted with immense skill and love, so you always get exceptional pieces of jewellery that accentuate your own beauty.

Our Inspiration

At Gehna, we are on a constantly evolving journey to create the most intricate, mesmerizing pieces of jewellery. To us, jewellery is more than an accessory, it’s a piece of art. We are always on the lookout for inspiration to help us in this endeavour and sometimes, we find it in the most unexpected of places. Tessellation is a special pattern that’s created when a shape is repeated over and over again. The word might sound new to you, but look around you; it’s everywhere. Right from honeycombs to snakeskin to leopard fur, tessellation is all around us in nature.

Snowflake Peridot & 925 Sterling Silver – Earrings

The geometrical patterns of tessellation are also in keeping with the emergence of geometric designs in jewellery trends. The sharp angles of geometric jewellery are in complete contrast with the way jewellery has been designed for centuries. But this is exactly what makes geometric jewellery so refreshingly modern. Geometric jewellery is elegant, straightforward and unfussy. What better way to reflect the modern day woman? One of the strongest reasons why geometric jewellery is growing in popularity today is because it’s so versatile. For a woman on the move, clean, minimalist geometric patterns are the perfect accessory because they move effortlessly from a daytime to a nighttime look.

Our Collection

The Tessera collection by Gehna is one of our most intricate, unique collections yet. Drawing inspiration from tessellation, we have played around with the concept in the shapes and designs of our jewellery, leading to the creation of something truly exquisite. To break the repeated pattern of tessellation, we have also embraced floral and paisley motifs in our design. These elements disrupt the predictability of tessellation, adding a dash of the unexpected in our jewellery. Beautiful gemstones embedded in lightweight sterling silver also add a touch of glamour to the Tessera collection. The collection includes delicate bracelets, bangles, earrings and elegant pendants that are waiting to be added to your jewellery box.

Our Top Picks

While every piece in the Tessera collection is strikingly beautiful, there are a few we believe deserve a special mention. These pieces are some of the most exquisite encapsulations of what the Tessera collection stands for.

Beehive Garnet Earrings

Our Beehive Garnet Sterling Silver earrings are inspired by the unique honeycomb patterns found in every beehive. The perfect geometrical precision of these beehives is replicated in these beautiful dangle earrings. The golden amber colour of molten honey is mimicked in the gold finish of the sterling silver. Little drops of honey collected in the centre of these beehive earrings in the form of beautiful garnets which dot these earrings.

Beehive Garnet & 925 Sterling Silver Earrings

Fascicle Silver Studs

These Fascicle Sterling Silverstuds combine two of the biggest trends this season: geometric patterns and rose gold. The natural chaos of leaves is echoed in the arrangement of identical leaf shapes in these earrings. These studs are the perfect accessory if you want a touch of understated elegance to elevate your outfit.

Crochet Blue Topaz and Peridot Bracelet

This stunning Crochet Blue Topaz and Peridotbracelet is every bit as delicate as intricately crocheted lace. Gleaming sterling silver is manipulated into striking motifs that are accentuated by sparkling blue topaz and peridot stones embedded in them. This bracelet also comes with matching earrings and a pendant that are certain to become treasured pieces in any woman’s jewellery collection.

In-House Presentation:

In-house presentations can be tricky. They are important enough to be marked on your calendar but not critical enough to influence your wardrobe. There are plenty of office wear gold jewellery designs available. Stay wary of flashy colours and bold prints as this will only attract attention towards your attire and not the presentation. Play safe by going ethnic and opting for a casual kurti with contrasting leggings. You can also take your style game up a notch with formal pants and smart shirt for strong work vibes. Accessorize by showcasing your personality through your jewellery.
