    The Stones: Carnelian

     

     

    Carnelian is a well-known variety of chalcedony.

    Its most precious color is red-orange. If it is subjected to a slight heating, for example by rubbing it or simply bringing it closer to a heat source, the color becomes more intense and then reappears its original color when it is removed from the heat source and returns to its natural temper. If you want to make sure that its coloration does not tend to darken over time, you should avoid exposing it too much to direct sunlight.

    History and tradition of the jewel by exception: the Ring

    The ring is absolutely the jewel par excellence, rich in symbolism and tradition.

    The biblical episode of the Pharaoh that gives Joseph the ring as a symbol of power, is among the oldest mentions on the subject.

    There is a legend that King Solomon had a ring that allowed him to talk to animals and understand their language.

     

    Another of the most ancient testimonies is the one that sees the ring mainly used as a seal. Since ancient times, numerous pharaohs had rings-seals forged with engraved symbols and images.

     

    The Greek seal ring was reserved for people with important offices, and was used to authenticate decrees, orders, to establish public authority or honorary mission. A law of Solon forbade even the engravers to keep a copy of the type of seal sold, so that they could not make falsifications. The ring bore the distinctive sign of its owner, who used it to affix his signature with an imprint on the tablets of wax usually used for writing.

    Published the 31.01.2019

    The tradition of the lucky horn is one of the most ancient. There are evidence of the presence of the horns of the killed animals, placed in defense and protection of the housing nucleus in very ancient times.

    Probably, nowadays, the fact that it is precisely the shape of the horn that is indicated as a symbol of luck and prosperity derives from a legend of Greek mythology.

    In Greek mythology, in fact, it is said that Zeus, the father of the gods, was raised by the nymphs and suckled by a goat. One day while he was riding, I accidentally break a horn. The nymph Melissa took pity on the goat and lovingly cared for her wound. Zeus, therefore, to thank Melissa, took the broken horn and filled it with fruit and flowers, giving it the power to make everything its owner wish for. This is the legend of the horn of plenty or Cornucopia.

    The natural shape of the coral, resembling a branch, makes it particularly suitable for transformation into the famous lucky horn.

  • What are the most suitable earrings for my face?

    Published the 31.12.2018

    What are the most suitable earrings for my face?

    We decided to give you some suggestions for choosing the most suitable earrings for you.

    You will have often seen in the window of the earrings that you liked instantly and then have a terrible disappointment when wearing them.

    We will try to give you some tips to immediately point to the most suitable earring model for your face.

    First of all, if you can not determine what the shape of your face is simply by looking at yourself in the mirror (it can be: rhomboidal, square, heart, oval, round, oblong, etc.) We will try to help you establish it.

    A quick and simple method is to print a photograph of your face, with hair possibly gathered in a tail, then trace a face contour on it first with a marker and then divide your face into three sections using lines straights that go from one side of the face to the other, passing the first on the attachment of the hair, the second at the base of the eyebrows and the third for the center of the tip of your nose. You will have divided your face intretre zones: the first zone will establish the portion of the forehead, the second the one of the nose and the third the chin.

    Now you can easily measure the height of the different zones thus obtained and make an exact idea of ??the proportions of your face. In fact, you can easily and accurately see if your face is longer than it is wide (oval face) or if the height and width correspond (round face).

     
     

     

    If you have established that your face is oval we recommend earrings attached to the lobe (pearls, button earrings rims)

     

     

    If your face is in the shape of a heart, that is characterized by a narrow chin compared to the rest of the face, the earrings that are definitely more suitable for you are the round ones.

     

    If instead you have established that your face is squared because it has angular strokes, for example with accentuated cheekbones, the most suitable earrings for you are medium-long with oval shapes and rounded edges

     

    Regardless of your face, remember that exaggeration is never elegant. If you have opted for an important necklace it is not always the best choice to weight it all down with flashy earrings, a simple point of light or color will make the whole piece stand out. If instead you choose to focus on earrings to make your smile shine, avoid the necklace and choose rather a bracelet or ring that is not near the ears will give a touch of class without weighing down the look.

    We hope as always to have been useful with our suggestions and advice and remember to follow us on our official channels Facebook , Instagram , Pinterest e Twitter.

    And of course, do not forget to take a look at our web El Coral to choose the most suitable earrings for your face.
