Designer Jewelry by Jan McClellan

Gemstones - Fact and Fancy

the composition and lore surrounding the stones

The beauty of gemstones has intrigued people throughout time and their intricacies of color and pattern fascinate me. Working with the stones as I made my jewelry, I became curious about their stories. Doing some research, I found that people have revered the beauties from the earth since the beginning of time and many legends and beliefs are connected to certain stones. I thought perhaps you would also like to know the facts and the fancies of gemstones.

I will add to this list as I do more research, so if you are interested please bookmark this page.
