Happy Birthday November babies!

Sorry to be so belated in offering all of you born in November a very Happy Birthday! This month got off to a crazy start. I guess it was all the election buzz and excitement. Now that all of that craziness has started to taper, I can concentrate on more important things - like gems!

Citrine is the traditional November birthstone. The name Citrine comes from an old French word, "citron", meaning lemon. There are so many healing powers associated with this gem that you could call it a cure all.

Citrine has been said to aid many organs including the heart, liver, kidneys and digestive system. This yellow gem is also believed to be especially powerful for stimulating your brain, enhancing creativity and bolstering self-confidence. It is said that wearing Citrine will improve memory, make you feel more optimistic, and give you more energy in everything you do. The magnetic powers of Citrine are believed to relieve depression, fear, and give you confidence.

Giving Citrine as a gift symbolizes wishes for hope and strength. Phew! That's a busy little gem! To learn more about this necklace, visit my site ...

Yellow Topaz is the modern gemstone for those born in November. It's golden color was believed by the Egyptians to be the glow cast by the sun god Ra. Yellow Topaz ranges in color from a peachy blush to a deep cognac. I have read of various beliefs associated with this gem, for example, it is supposed to protect you from sudden death. My favorite one is that it symbolizes success because of its beauty and elegance. A gift of this gemstone is said to symbolize friendship and to strengthen one's capacity to give and receive love.

Busy Times

It's an exciting time for us at Heart's Desire Jewelry. We have some great events coming up over the next couple of months.

To start with, our jewelry will be featured in a fashion show presented by the IFCSF - the Innovative Fashion Council of San Francisco. There will also be a panel discussion with some major fashionistas on the subject of "Does Eco-Fashion Matter in a Down Economy?". The event takes place Wednesday, November 19, 6:30 - 9:30 PM at the W hotel in San Francisco. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.ifcfashionmixer.eventbrite.com/

We have confirmed two holiday shows where we will be setting up our chic boutique and showing off our latest designs.
