For centuries, pearls have always been a symbol of peace, beauty and purity. Today, they are regarded as both classic and contemporary, coming in many more fashionable styles than your mother’s traditional strands or necklace of pearls.

Natural Pearls — are extremely rare. Historically, many were found in the Persian Gulf; unfortunately, today, most have already been harvested. You may be able to purchase small, natural pearls, but they will be costly.

Pearls have been known for their healing properties for centuries, particularly in traditional Asian medical systems. In these cultures, “medicine” deals with more than just physical ailments and cures, and substances like gold, silver and pearl powder are believed to have effects both physically and metaphysically.

Modern science has not discovered anything magical about pearls, but this does nothing to diminish their stature in people’s eyes. Pearls are said to give the wearer a sense of calmness and centeredness, and to promote faith, loyalty, truth and purity. They can especially enhance personal integrity. They have also been used in a number of cultures to help women connect with their “inner goddesses” and obtain the ultimate “feminine energy.”

Pearls have been used throughout medical history to help treat disorders of the digestive tract, muscular systems and the skin. Powders and potions containing pearls have also been developed to aid in fertility, as well as in easing the discomforts of the birthing process. Many cultures and societies have made similar claims for this lustrous gem.

The Chinese, for example, have depended on the healing properties of the pearl for centuries. They have used it to treat everything from simple eye ailments to serious heart problems, bleeding, fever and indigestion. To this day, the Chinese still use pearl powder as a skin whitener and a cosmetic, as do many other people around the world. In fact, the pearl is widely considered to be effective in controlling the skin conditions rosacea and acne.

Due to these natural properties, as well as its elegance and beauty, the pearl has been associated through the ages with the “matrix of life” itself. Proponents allege that the pearl helps to balance the human body’s natural rhythms and hormone levels with lunar cycles. There are also those that claim that the pearl can bring inner wisdom and help to strengthen and nurture the growth of love. Pearls are thought by others to have very strong “magnetic” powers and have been used in “gem therapy” to strengthen nerves, the adrenal glands, the spleen and muscle tissue.

The pearl’s magical properties are said to allow a person to open up and find the meaning and the purpose of one’s “true self.” They are believed to enlighten the mind and inspire the mood, while helping the wearer to learn to love herself more and, in turn, help her love others more, as well. True or not, these are wonderful and inspiring thoughts to share with the world, and the pearl can help the wearer project any and all of these mystical traits in a practical way, by focusing the mind on these positive attributes, real or not. Pearls are not just gems. They are a veritable storehouse of good will and positive, uplifting feelings. The real magic is in beholding their beauty and seeing them as reminders of “all things good and true.” Now, doesn’t that sound like a gem worth wearing?

Get glowing with gemstones

Nov 12, 2010 - 03:26 PM
Imagine crushed gemstones like emeralds, rubies and sapphires being rubbed on your face for that ultimate glow! Well, that is the hottest new trend in facials across the world. But don't you get swayed in by their exotic appeal. Each gemstone is apt for specific skin needs alone. Parimita Chakravorthy gets experts to help you figure how these precious stones can help you

Sheela Ranjan of Gem Herbal Beauty Parlour, Bangalore says, “Each gem stone has a specific property and the ash is used according to the skin type for treatment. The effect of gemstone facials stays longer than other facials and more often natural products are used, so it is gentle on the skin as well.”

Emerald entices the skin
Emerald is considered as the best gem for its anti-ageing and repairing skin damage properties. The emerald ash infused in the cream helps to revitalize and tone the skin, reducing fine lines, pores and wrinkles. It further strengthens the physiology of the skin, stimulates blood circulation and removes toxins.

It is also a nourishing treatment with its natural astringent and antiseptic properties which proves to be really helpful for acne prone skin because it reduces inflammation, increases elasticity, prevents pimple formation and removes excess oil from the skin. It even relieves fatigued eyelids and also makes the lips look healthier.

The sapphire seduction
Do you need a youthful glow? Opt for a sapphire facial. The sapphire content helps to soothe, deeply hydrate and protect the skin making it appear clear, smooth, blemish-free, rejuvenated and youthful.

It removes dead cells, restores and maintains the ideal skin balances and counteracts harmful environmental effects. Also, the blue sapphire treatment is believed to induce sleep and wipe away depression and anxiety due to its calming effects. All in all, the skin appears relaxed and young, creating an overall sense of wellbeing.

Get rosy like a ruby
If you want to achieve a glowing radiant effect, go for ruby facials. The ash of ruby is infused into the massage cream to give a cooling and soothing effect to the skin. It is a good moisturiser and a rich source of Vitamin A which is excellent for an ageing skin, making it soft and supple.

That’s not all; it even soothes rashes, sun burns and reduces the appearance of blemishes. It relaxes facial muscles providing instant rejuvenation and fresh look. But be wary of using it during cold weather due to its ingrained cooling properties.

Get pearly pretty
Pearls are naturally rich in amino acids, minerals, and proteins that have powerful age control properties. Also it helps in skin brightening and reduces blemishes and dark spots. Shahnaz Hussian says, “It helps to strengthen the skin, improve its moisture retention ability and produce an even colour tone.” Words of wisdom though, avoid pearl facials on acne prone and sensitive skin as this may worsen the skin condition.

Dazzle like a diamond
Mostly used for micro-dermabrasion and skin polishing, this facial includes a diamond wand which has an array of “diamond” crystals used to polish the skin, leaving it luminous and radiant.

The procedure is used to diminish blackheads and white heads, fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, lip and character lines and stretch marks. Not called a girl’s best friend for nothing, right? The only hitch is that the dermabrasion effect might irritate sensitive skin, so be careful.

Jewellery to make you go VOW!

She's played with baubles since she was a child coming as she did from the illustrious Popley family of jewellers. But she's carved a niche for herself in the business, minus the family name. Now, with her exclusive VOW range of jewellery, Varuna D Jani has finally tapped the pulse of the Indian woman, discovers Salil Jayakar

Walk into jewellery designer Varuna D Jani’s flagship store off Turner Road, Bandra in Mumbai and you’ll be taken in by its muted simplicity. The designer, much like her creations, exudes a muted simplicity and elegance that so many others aspire to achieve but fail to.

Born in to the eminent Popley family, it seemed natural for Varuna to make a career in the field of jewellery design. She worked with her father for three years before branching out on her own. “Since I branched out, it’s been difficult because I didn’t have the family name - the tag of Popley,” she candidly admits. Yet, in less than five years of making the move from Dubai to Mumbai, she’s built on her name with a trusted and loyal clientele.

Designs on you

This year, a couple of months ago to be precise, Varuna launched her Very Own Wish - VOW -range that consists of jewellery sets that can be worn according to occasion and need. “Traditionally, jewellery is seen as a symbol of status and prestige. Mothers want to buy heavy jewellery for their daughter’s wedding, which is worn once and then kept away in lockers, never to be seen again. I wanted to change that. A beautiful piece of jewellery should be worn and seen every day. Today, women want to wear a simple piece of jewellery - whether to work, at a cocktail do or on a daily basis. VOW allows them to do just that!”

Using a simple clasp and lock, individual pieces in a set can be added on, or removed, to make a formal necklace, a necklace with a pendant, a bracelet, etc. Made in India but with a global patent, VOW gives women the choice and freedom to wear what they want, when they want without worrying that the piece is “too heavy” and “not right” for daily wear. What sets this range apart is that it is completely hand-made and women can buy a single piece (if they cannot afford an entire set) and then add on to it later.

Says Varuna, “I developed this idea completely on my own and I’m proud to say it adds a new versatility and dimension to bridal jewellery that has never been seen in India before. The VOW range has four lines starting from Rs. 1 lakh, Rs. 3 lakh, Rs. 5 lakh and going up to Rs. 2 crore. It’s a completely affordable range depending on your budget.” Made using 80% diamonds and 20% of other gemstones such as emeralds, rubies, sapphires, etc. there’s more than enough bling that you can hope for!

Passion is a must

According to Varuna, where jewellery is concerned, design is king and it is associated with her name and brand. All her collections are limited edition ones as far as designs and patterns are concerned. “My entire collection is in my hands. I have a problem with people who are trying to dilute the brand and want to make it generic,” she states.

Varuna sums up her work when she says, “Passion is important. It drives me forward in difficult times. Hard work, patience and a clear focus are also significant.”

Not surprising, she is sparkling and standing out in the business already!

Sotheby’s jewellery auction New York churns $28.4 million

The value of the sale was only half the pre-sale estimates

By: Diamond World News Service

Sotheby’s jewellery auction New York saw sale of two thirds of the total 340 lots offered, yet the total revenues amounted to only half the pre-sale estimates. The total value of the sale was $28.4 million. The auction house was also unable to sell two of its top lots at the event. The auction offered diamonds, sapphires and other precious gemstones.

A 22-carat fancy intense pink diamond ring (pre-sale estimate -$13 million), and a 33-carat "Light of Golconda" diamond (presale estimate $7 million), were the two top lots that did not attract buyers. Unusual jewellery on the sale however met with buyer interest – including a 23.6-carat oval diamond ring. A Cartier platinum diamond necklace was bought for $1.65 million while a Kashmir sapphire and diamond ring was bought for slightly less than $1.6 million.
