Throughout the ages
men and women have used gemstones and crystals in personal ornaments and body decorations as bewitching jewelry. Wearing them as charms
talismans or amulets
they were believed to possess the power to ward off evil spirits (or attract benevolent ones)
keep one safe from harm
or to find love. To this day
many people of all ages and from all walks of life believe in the magical power of certain gems and make bewitching jewelry part of their everyday attire.

Take pearls
for instance. In the olden days
if a maiden wanted a man to fall in love with her
she would put pearls ground into a fine powder into a glass of wine and somehow get him to drink it. A pretty costly way to catch a man
that method. Nowadays
wearing pearls is believed to enhance one’s inner character and bring about peace and serenity. Gold is another example of bewitching jewelry. Since time immemorial
it has captured the fascination of all people
and is one of the cornerstones of the science of alchemy. Gold is used to enhance the power of other gemstones
hence its popular use as a setting. It is also believed to attract wealth and influence
because the wearer is perceived to be strong and powerful.

Bewitching jewelry is not confined to fashionable purposes. The Indian warriors of old used to have swords that were adorned with garnets
secure in the belief that this would bring them luck in battle. Today
garnet jewelry presented as a gift signifies the giver’s feelings of eternal love and commitment. It can also be worn as a charm to increase sensuality and sexuality. Similarly
diamonds are said to aid in the release of sexual tension and to help the wearer enjoy a fantastic sex life. I wonder what that says about girls who treat diamonds as their best friend?

Sapphires are benevolent examples of bewitching jewelry. Aside from preserving friendships and promoting loyalty
they are also believed to protect the wearer from capture. Turquoise is likewise popular as a talisman because of its alleged property of changing colors when the wearer is in peril. Plus
it is used in amulets in many cultures because it is believed to be a bringer of luck.

There are many
many other beliefs regarding the use of gemstones as bewitching jewelry. They may be worn as talismans
charms
amulets or simply as fashion accessories. But for many people today
as in the ancient times
jewels are chosen not only for their beauty
but for the perceived benefits that they will bring to the wearer as well.
