For example, wearing garnet is said to help ease the pain of a bad breakup, or cause jealousy between lovers. Amethyst is said to protect its wearer against the ill effects of alcohol, slow down intoxication and prevent hangovers. Turquoise is said to give emotional strength. Jade has always had enormous importance in Asian civilization; it is said to have the mystical power to protect its wearer against nightmares and other psychic attacks.
Diamond -- currently the hardest mineral known to man -- is said to stand for strength and purity, which is why it is in demand in gemstone earrings among both men and women. Emeralds are said to stand for harmony, strength of heart, and luck with love. Emeralds themselves are rare, and the extremely rare red emerald is said to be even more valuable than diamonds. Sapphires stand for wisdom, calm and faith. Finally, rubies stand for passion, excitement, loyalty and sexual pleasure.

Celtic knots add a particularly interesting flavor to any Celtic jewelry piece. The intricate designs create truly fashionable and timeless pieces. Celtic knots have come to be known as symbols that represent eternity, and some versions of the Celtic knot represent the holy trinity. Likewise, depending on the wearer, there are some Celtic knots that represent the maiden, mother, and crone aspect of the triple Goddess, and some people believe that the Celtic knot is a representation that symbolizes the power of reincarnation.
Alternatively, some Celtic Jewelry is created with special jewels included in the piece. Each jewel represents a specific month of the year. For instance, January is represented with the garnet, February is represented with the amethyst, March by the aquamarine, April is signified by the carnelian, May is represented by the emerald or the Jade, June by the Ruby or Pearl, August is typically signified by using peridots, September is denoted with Amber, October is marked with opals or Lapis, November is marked with citrine, and finally December is noted by the use of Turquoise or Topaz. Conversely, not all stones used in Celtic pieces represent months and it is not uncommon to find Celtic fashion wear that has hematite, sapphires, tiger eyes and other gemstones included.
Rings, earrings, ear cuffs, necklaces, watches, headpieces and more can be purchased - all that possess some sort of Celtic design. Wedding rings are particularly gorgeous and even diamond engagement rings with Celtic knots can be purchased from special designers. Celtic knot cuff links are also particularly beautiful and they add the perfect touch to any suit or tuxedo. Dangle earrings, bracelets - both for wrists and ankles, and even toe rings are created with various Celtic designs.
Spirals are another common Celtic symbol and any type of jewelry can easily have a spiral inscribed on its surface. Spiral brooches and pins make splendid stocking stuffers at Christmas, and if you want to spice up a little girl's Easter basket offerings, a pair of spiral earrings adds a lovely touch. Likewise, Celtic dragons and dolphins can also be purchased from designers who specialize in Celtic art and jewelry design. In fact, you can even purchase a harp brooch with a Celtic knot border or you can also opt to for the traditional Celtic Cross pendant.
Triquetra cuff rings are particularly popular among jewelry lovers as are Triquetra necklaces. As a matter of fact, one can easily purchase jewelry that is marked with the different Celtic astrological symbols. Without a doubt, when it comes to jewelry and Celtic designs there is something to suit everyone's tastes and preferences and all products can be ordered from online jewelry designers.
