Kay Jewelry And Birthstones
Kay Jewelry has been around for some ninety years now. The simple idea of two innovative brothers, Sol and Edmund Kaufmann from Reading, Pennsylvania gave way for the inception of Kay. They opened the first Kay Jewelry in the corner of the furniture store owned by their father.
Originally, Kay was selling things aside from jewelries. Some of their initial products comprised of eyeglasses, electric razors, musical jewelry boxes, silverware sets, kitchen appliances and even radios. But then later on, as time changed, Kay concentrated in the jewelry business.
Owning a piece of jewelry of special meaning such as those of your gemstones, would not just surely serve as an adornment to your body but will also be an expression of your individuality.
Know Your Gemstone. A gemstone which is also often called birthstones, are crystal fragments from the earth’s heart. These fragments are cut, shaped, polished and the colors enhanced to create adornments or jewelries.
If you are born in January, Garnet is your gemstone. Garnet comes in almost a rainbow of colors, varying from deep red to opulent orange and golden tones, supple violets and lavenders, and striking greens. This gem is believed to promote loyalty, sincerity and devotion. Amethyst is the gemstone for February. It is a purple strain of quartz ranging from soft slightly pinkish violet up to rich grape purple. Aquamarine is for people born in March. As its name denotes it, this gemstone has the color of the sea and legend has it that it is the treasure of mermaids. When mined and cut most Aquamarines are greenish in hue. For a purer blue color, the stones are enhanced by heating. Diamonds are valued for their brilliance, purity and elegance. It is April’s gemstone. Diamonds derived its name from the Greek word ‘adamas’ which means unconquerable or indestructible. A diamond’s worth is determined by its cut, clarity, color and carat.
May’s gemstone is represented by Emerald. Emerald is commonly associated with rebirth and abundance because of its rich green color which often brings in mind the colors of spring, symbolizing regeneration of life and hope of new possibilities. For June, it is Pearl. Pearls can be natural or cultured. Pearls unlike other gemstones are produced by living organisms like oysters and mollusks. Contrary to beliefs that pearls are produced white, pearls’ color varies. It varies from champagne pink, yellow, golden, lavender, gray and black. July’s gem is Ruby – the gem of smoldering desire and passion. Throughout most of documented history, ruby has been portrayed as the most valuable. It is believed to have the ability to rekindle desire and promote good thoughts.
Peridot is a relatively soft gemstone. It is most desired in hues of lime and is the birthstone for August. This gemstone has been credited with magical and healing powers like the power to deflect evil and protection against nightmares. September is symbolized by Sapphire. Sapphire embodies an endless palette of blue colors but like all other gems, it is also found in other shades of red, violet, orange and even white. A perfect sapphire is a rare work of art. For the month of October, the gemstone is Opal. Admired as a symbol of purity, fidelity and hope and was nicknamed by the Romans as the Queen of Gems because it encompasses the shades and colors of all other gems. Opal has the ability to play with color. Another variety of quartz, Citrine is November’s stone. Its color ranges from pale yellow to brown. And for people born in December, it is Topaz. It is a very durable gemstone but can be split with a single shrill blow, a character similar to diamond.

What You Need To Know Before Buying A Reuge Music Box
The founder of Reuge music boxes, by his name Charles Reuge, settled for the first time in Switzerland, in a small town, Sainte-Croix, where, in 1865 began manufacturing small watches that included small musical box movements. The business went just fine, so his older son, Albert opened the first Reuge workshop. He continued his father work and made musical movements. Incredible as it may seem, the Reuge factory can be found at the same address in Sainte-Croix Switzerland, making an astonishing range of movements, from simple ones to multi tune of up to 144 notes.
Nowadays, the Reuge music boxes cover a lot of items, such as wedding music boxes, jewelry music boxes, and simple music boxes. The materials that are used to make these exquisite items are very selective. Burr elm, walnut, rosewood and many other make these music boxes quite unique.
But here are some examples to understand better the Reuge style. You can find in a Reuge store a beautiful ‘Swiss Romance’ musical jewelry box manufactured in Switzerland. Once you open it you will see a couple dancing on nice 22 musical movements. It is specially hand crafted using natural burr elm wood veneers, giving it style and elegance.
There is another thing that you should know about Reuge music boxes. They are created in three collections: “1865″, “Lounge” and “Studio”, each with its own characteristics and styles. The”1865″ collection is a classic line of great music boxes, horology and singing birds. Inlaid in the finest woods and precious metals they can be considered the best of the best.
The “Lounge’ ones are contemporary line products, which bring the music boxes into a more up-to-date world. The items they create are great as decorative items. They have special designs which are meant to improve the quality of the sound.
The “Studio” creations are quite innovative models, very modern, aesthetic and yet with a developed cultural level. The rarest materials are used to create the finest mechanical music boxes.
Any of these styles is different in shape and design and they are also different in the number of notes used. In fact, all these differences are the base of every style. The size of the box, the materials used, the length of the cylinder, and the number of notes will be there to choose from.
These are great not only as decorating ideas, but as presents. They are very stylish and durable (sometimes besides using the best woods, they also use very strong and precious materials such as silver or gold) and due to this qualities, you can be sure they will last in time, and your gift will be remembered for years and years to come.
