Happy Birthday To Our November Customers!

November, the month of the Citrine gemstone – a beautiful gem with warm colors like a Van Gogh painting of sunflowers!

November Birthstone CitrineThe name Citrine comes from the French word “citrin” – which means lemon. One of the more rare forms of quartz, the Citrine gemstone ranges in color from pale yellow to a dark amber, commonly named Madeira because it resembles a red wine.

A gift of Citrine is symbolic for hope and strength! With its bright and sunny look, the stone is ideal for helping anyone through the darker times of their lives.

An alternate birthstone for November babies is Yellow Topaz. A gift of Yellow Topaz is said to symbolize friendship and to strengthen one’s ability to give and receive love!

Find a unique gift for her with a Citrine look at the Blue Horse Boutique. Our Avante Garde Citrine Swarovski Stack Ring and Avante Garde Citrine Swarovski Flower Ring are 2 great pieces that she will love for any occasion.

Let’s Play Football!

Why not offer the guys a little more fun on game day with some unique gifts for him that will bring a smile to their face and some whimsy to their life.

Let them shake up those football party drinks in a cool Football Drink Shaker or store their drinks in a practical and fun looking Inflatable Football Chiller.

Both of these gifts for him will make him feel like you “get him” and are affordable too.

So help them enjoy the big game just a little bit more with these great ideas!

 

Opal – The Birthstone of October

Imagine an explosion of shimmering color – almost like a rainbow. That is the Opal!

The Opal derives its name from the Latin word “opalus”, which means precious jewel. It is prized for its unique ability to refract and reflect specific wavelengths of light. Opal is a symbol of faithfulness and confidence which makes it a wonderful birthday gift for any girl – young or old.

The Opal dates back to prehistoric times. It is a non-crystallized silica, which is a mineral found near the earth’s surface in areas where geothermal hot springs had once existed. When the springs began to run dry, layers of the silica combined with water and were then deposited into the cracks and cavities of the bedrock – this is how Opal was formed. It is a very soft stone and can break esily.

A gift of Opal is symbolic of faithfulness and confidence.

Happy Birthday to our October readers and customers!
