Gemstone Information
Symbolic Meanings of Gemstones
Gemstones have been imbued with traditional and symbolic meanings throughout history. Turquoise, for instance, is often regarded as a stone of protection and good fortune. Jasper is believed to provide strength and grounding, while agate is thought to promote balance and harmony. At Texas Girl Designs, we recognize and respect these traditional associations, and while we don't explicitly market our gemstones based on these beliefs, we appreciate the rich cultural history they carry.
Caring For Your Gemstones
Proper care is essential to maintain the beauty of your gemstones. For most of our gemstones, we recommend cleaning them gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, which can damage the stone's surface. Store your gemstone jewelry separately to prevent scratching and protect it from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Specific care instructions may vary depending on the gemstone, so please refer to the product details or contact us for personalized advice.
Our Gemstone Sourcing
We carefully select our gemstones from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to ethical sourcing and quality. We prioritize gemstones that are responsibly mined and processed, ensuring minimal environmental impact and fair labor practices. Our selection process involves a thorough evaluation of each gemstone's color, clarity, cut, and overall appearance, ensuring that only the finest specimens are incorporated into our jewelry.
