Lucky Numbers - ALL SOLD

Seven is a magical number. To some ancient cultures, it was the number of completion; when you hit the jackpot on the slot machines, it's 777. So it's no wonder that many couples (not just in S'pore, but I just heard on the BBC, in the US & Russia as well) are getting married today, the 7th day of the 7th month of the 7th year of the millennium.

So I decided to take the number 7 and sprinkle in an extra dose of luck with the number 8 as well.

Let me explain ...

In each of these Lucky Numbers creations, there are 7 accent stones. When you add the larger focal gem, you get 8 stones (8 sounds like "luck" in Chinese).

Let's meet each of the three -- 3, to some ancient cultures, was the perfect number! (Gee, there is all this number talk and to think Math was one of my least favourite subjects in school ... hahahha!)

Lucky Numbers - Citrine
The seven accent stones are fresh green peridot (said to be Cleopatra's favourite gem).

The focal semi-precious gem is a lovely faceted Citrine (approx 1.5 carats). Citrine is said to bring abundance :)

All gold bits are 14K gold-filled. Pendant comes with a 16-inch fine gold-filled chain (not shown).


Lucky Numbers - Moonstone
This is my personal favourite because I like the contrast in colours.

The seven accent stones are deep, dark black onyx (said to be a great stress buster).

The larger accent semi-precious gem is a beautifully cut rainbow moonstone briolette. Luckily, the camera captured the little flash of blue this particular brio likes to show off.

The Ancient Romans thought moonstone was created from moonlight and today it is considered a highly protective gemstone especially for women and children.

All gold bits are 14K gold-filled. Pendant comes with a 16-inch fine gold-filled chain (not shown).

Lucky Numbers - Amethyst
Here, the seven accent stones are light lilac Amethyst which help set off the deeper, mysterious purple African Amethyst brio beautifully.

The semi-precious focal gem weighs approximately 2.5 carats.

Amethyst is said to help open the heart chakra so that good things may flow in :)

All gold bits are 14K gold-filled. Pendant comes with a 16-inch fine gold-filled chain (not shown).
