Pendant Petronilla

Jadeite is considered the true jade, more precious than nephrite because it has a much brighter green color and greater translucency. It is always been considered a royal gem in China. In fact, in Chinese Yu is used to indicate something precious – the equivalent of golden. Jadeite jade comes from Myanmar. It is said that it brings abundance, prosperity, serenity, wisdom, longevity. For thousands of years, jade has been the symbol of love and virtue.

The origin of the name comes from its color, from the Latin rubeus which means red. In fact, the ruby is the red variety of the corinth, a mineral class that also includes sapphire. It is one of the rarest gemstones and historically the most sought after are those from the Mogok region, in Burma (now Myanmar). Several ruby deposits are also found in East Africa. Ruby is considered the stone of passionate love. It has mysterious powers that help against sadness. If you keep it under your pillow, it will improve your sleep and relaxation.
