Sardonyx the alternate birthstone of August

If you're looking for an unusual piece of jewelry with a real sense of character, consider a sardonyx pendant or sardonyx ring. Although it is used as the alternative August birthstone, sardonyx jewelry offers features that not many other gemstones have to offer. For example, a sardonyx men's ring, popular for those men who want an August birthstone ring but do not like peridot jewelry, can come in three different colors: orange, black or green - all with a white stripe running through the stone. I gladly make sardonyx jewelry in your choice of yellow gold, white gold or sterling silver.

Sardonyx jewelry is unique because unlike many other gems, the color choices give a much wider selection as well as different properties some people believe them to have. For instance, an orange sardonyx ring is believed to stimulate while a green sardonyx earrings would be seen as purifying. Black sardonyx jewelry is believed to absorb negative energy so that it does not affect the wearer.

For a 10th anniversary, sardonyx jewelry is the traditional gift to mark the occasion. It's also been associated with the planet Saturn and also Mars since Roman times when it was believed to fuel courage and lead to victory in battle. Sardonyx jewelry is commonly thought to assist those born under the zodiac sign Leo or with strong Leo influence in their astrology chart. It's also believed to aid those seeking self control, lessening hesitation and acts as a cure for depression.

It's fitting that a stone sometimes described as 'resembling a formal business tie' due to its white striping, would considered a valuable addition to a public person's jewelry collection. Public speakers are believed to gain extra power from sardonyx jewelry when it comes to getting their message across with extra potency that would help the listeners be able to see the speaker's point of view.

We've recently added green sardonyx to our collection here at Earth's Treasures and we have large 30x40mm size cabochon cut orange sardonyx perfect for a sardonyx pendant.
