13th Mar: Jewel Day

Jewel Day on March 13th recognizes the makers, the jewelers, and the special pieces that take our breath away. Each year, the day reminds us to wear those pieces and to appreciate the artisans who make them shine! Jewel is a term used to refer to gemstones - precious or semi-precious and natural or man-made - and for ornaments made from these gemstones. The word comes from the Medieval Latin word jocale meaning plaything or pastime. https://youtu.be/i6ZcjIXJLmc Birthstones by Month

One of the hardest substances known to man is a diamond. The word diamond comes from the Greek word invincible, which is very fitting. Jewel Day is an excellent way to highlight makers and designers who work hard to please their customers. It’s essential to admire their talent and ability to come up with custom solutions and options for each person who shops with them. Explainer Video Makers
