Birthstones and Lucky Stones
Precious and semi-precious stones have assumed added importance with different stones being associated with different months of the year. Some people consider it lucky to wear a piece of jewelry with their birthstone. Soothsayers and fortune tellers often suggest you wear a particular stone close to your body to either ward off evil or to bring you good luck. Others tell you that different gemstones and beads give off energy that could affect you. However the jury is still out on the benefits that different stones have on you.
Crystal Point Beads
A stone or a bead gets it clarity and beauty because of the purity of the material it is made of and because of the way it is cut and polished. Crystal point beads are an ideal case in point. The beads come in the form of tangerine crystal points, natural crystal quartz points and titanium coated crystal point beads. They are also made of opaque stones like citrine and amethyst. The value of a processed stone depends on the skill with which it is cut. Looking at a diamond would give you a perfect example of this. Diamond cutters are highly skilled persons and they use special tools to cut the hardest known element. If you see a diamond without its famed glow, it is probably because it hasnt been cut properly.
Jewelry Making
Jewelry making as a hobby or a profession is becoming increasingly common. As a weekend hobby it would bring out your artistic side and you would feel such pride as people admired your jewelry. You could make jewelry from beads and gemstones of different colours or if you are looking for something more quirky and artistic, consider using iron pyrite nugget beads that vary in size from 10mm to 18mm. Buying beads and the jewelry making tools and then crafting your jewelry is quite economical and so you could have quite a variety and then when you get tired of a particular piece, you can dismantle and remake it.
