AQUAMARINE

I've used Aquamarine Swarovski crystals in March's birthstone fairy....in her hair, necklace, belly button, waist accent, on her toes and the center back of her wings.

Some interesting information on "aquamarine":

Birthstone Properties: Bestows courage, insight, and victory

Aquamarine is the traditional birth stone for March. It is also the accepted anniversary gem for the 19th year of marriage. Aquamarine is mined primarily in Brazil, Nigeria and Zambia.

Ancient Romans believed the magnificent gemstone was sacred to Neptune, the god of the sea. Some legends say that it was gift from mermaids, while others suggest that Neptune retrieved it after it fell from the jewel boxes of sirens and washed onto shore.

FEBRUARY - AMETHYST "Birthstone Fairy"

AMETHYST

February's Birthstone Fairy

by DZFANTASY

The amethyst is the modern birthstone for those born in February, which happens to be my birthstone.  I am going to be creating a "birthstone" fairy for each of the coming months.  There are several other stones associated with each month, but I will be using the colors and crystals of the modern birthstone when creating these fairies.

Each fairy will be 6.5" tall and designed to either hang on the wall or dance from a bit of clear fishing line or ribbon. If anyone is interested in having a "special" birthstone fairy created as a gift, or for their own birthday, please feel free to contact me either by email at: dzfairies@msn.com or via a convo in Etsy.

February's fairy has 29 Swarovski crystals as her accents with amethyst Swarovski crystals in her accents...necklace, hair accent, waist, belly button and more!

Below is a little information on the amethyst stone:

Amethyst is the purple variety of the mineral quartz and is a popular gemstone. If it were not for its widespread availability, amethyst would be very expensive. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken." This was perhaps due to a belief that amethyst would ward off the effects of alcohol, but most likely the Greeks were referring to the almost wine-like color of some stones that they may have encountered. Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its color and beauty. Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades.

I'll be starting on March's birthstone fairy soon, so do stop back for a visit.

PISCES...MARCH'S CHILD - Aquamarine Birthstone Fairy

PISCES - AQUAMARINE BIRTHSTONE

FAIRY

by DZFANTASY

Each month I will be creating a "Birthstone" fairy for that particular month. Above is my PISCES FAIRY, for which I used the Modern Birthstone list of colors. The Modern Birthstone list is the official birthstone list from the American National Association of Jewelers of America. The colors in this list were officially adopted in 1912.

I discovered that there are other colors/stones associated with each birth month.....Mystical Birthstones are of Tibetan origin and date back over a thousand years. Then there is the Ayurvedic Birthstone list, which is from Indian medicine and beliefs dating back to ancient India (1500 BC).

I used over 30+ Aquamarine Swarovski crystals to represent March's birthstone, and used the aquamarine color scheme throughout the whole fairy....fabric, hair, and accents. She is quite a refreshing sight! If you'd like to learn more about her, just click on her photos. She is curently listed in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy. If anyone is interested in have a "special" Birthstone Fairy created, I will be happy to work with them, as far as style, size, colors, price range.

I just had to create an Aquarian Water Sprite Fairy for all of us Aquarians out here! This being our month, I felt we had to have a fairy to celebrate February's Child.

I am working on the idea of making this one of my new lines....

Each fairy would come with a card containing that "sign's" characteristics, colors, stones, etc.
