Trying to decide on what jewelry trend to try out next?
How about treating yourself to meaningful jewelry pieces? Zodiac jewelry combines ancient astrology with fascinating, colorful gemstones.
Zodiac mythology includes 12 unique symbols, each sharing their own specific personality traits.
These moon-based combinations of common strengths and weaknesses fall under 4 distinct categories: fire, earth, air, and water. Under each category are three of the sun signs, otherwise known as the Zodiac signs.
Astrologists often rely on the sun sign and its’ interaction with other planets. This is how they determine an exact makeup of one’s personality.
For every Zodiac sign, there is a designated stone to represent its innate characteristics.
Read on for Zodiac-inspired jewelry pieces that capture the traits of each sign.
Shine On With These Sun Sign-Inspired Jewelry Pieces
While Zodiac astrology has drawn the attention of individuals seeking self-awareness for thousands of years, it still emerges in our modern-day society as a guiding light.
Zodiac-based Horoscopes are featured in a wide range of today’s media sources including news staples, such as The Washington Post, as well as many other both whimsical and fact-reporting websites and reads. Some look to theirs for insight, while others simply find it amusing.
At any rate, the sun-inspired signs of the Zodiac still shine after all these years. And, you can too when you flaunt these jewelry pieces, created to show off your individual birth-determined beauty!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries has been referred to as the strongest of all Zodiac signs. Known for their leadership abilities and magnetic personality, they often attract others naturally. However, their jealous tendencies can be a downfall in love and life.
Represented by the headstrong ram, Aries’ traditional birthstone comes as no surprise.
The diamond, sparkling and highly-sought, is the perfect match for those born under the sign of Aries.
An elegant ring or necklace that represents Aries energy features its’ Zodiac sign in a dazzling display of diamonds.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This Earth sign is devoted and grounded. Those born under the Taurus sign tend to be natural-born beauty-seekers. But, like the Bull that represents them, they are also known for their eternal stubborn will.
The Emerald, a captivating deep green, gives nod to the lush ground and Earth, both reminders of Taureans’ strengths.
Choose a simple chain and solitaire to best represent the signs’ leaning towards minimalism. Or, a Zodiac-stamped silver pendant paired with rugged leather serves to represent this sign perfectly.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Geminis are known for their Jekyll and Hyde personality types. At once sociable and ready for fun, with a capacity to suddenly turn serious and contemplative, this sign is a mysterious enigma.
The Blue Sapphire contains strong balancing powers, ideal for the internally conflicted Gemini. Gemstone Universe offers more info on the multi-layered meaning of this interesting gem.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The Blue Sapphire is also representative of the intelligent and analytical sign of Virgo. For Virgo-born individuals, the Blue Sapphire serves to reveal their connection to clarity and mindfulness.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Individuals born under Cancer are deep-rooted nurturers with a reverence for home.
Rubies are the chosen stones to represent the sign that never stops longing for the place they first belonged. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, who clicked her ruby slippers, these homebound spirits believe ‘there’s no place like home’.
A strong and bold Ruby heart pendant keeps home close to the heart.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Warm and action-oriented, but relentless and ego-driven, those born as Leos are represented by a stone that’s both dark and beautiful.
An Onyx bracelet will serve as a reminder that their energy has the power to breathe positivity or darkness into the world around them
Libra (September 23- October 22)
Peaceful and fair, this sign is represented by an equally mild birthstone. Modest Pink Tourmaline earrings make an excellent gift choice for these humble creatures.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Sexy and assertive, turquoise serves this sign well. Scorpios can flaunt this bold and mesmerizing stone with jewelry pieces adorning the neckline, as well as rings, bracelets, and earrings.
Since they pay no attention to the risk of “overdoing it”, they might prefer to wear a combination of their favorite jewelry at once.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 23)
Curious and open, Sagittarius’ lighthearted energy flows readily through the Amethyst. This stone is a just-right pick for the hopeful and sunny Sagittarius.
A chunky ring is an ideal jewelry piece to accompany those Sagittarius-born world travelers.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Agate is a beautiful, natural occurring swirl of color-infused translucent quartz. It represents the most determined sign and each stone is uniquely formed by design.
A cluster of Agate gemstones worn at the center of a sterling chain is well-matched for the centered, forward-focused Capricorn.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Garnet is a dark red stone formed by many minerals. It’s both enchanting and unpredictable, like those who it represents.
A garnet bracelet is a charming choice for those with the complicated sign of Aquarius.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces-born people are selfless and generous givers. They have a deep intuition and capacity for emotional expression.
Like the water sign, an Aquamarine stone is a beautiful shade of clear blue. And like the natural born artists that it represents, every stone is a work of art in itself.
The perfect piece of jewelry need not be gaudy. But, creative pieces, such as a pin, will best bring out the natural beauty of the stone and the sign for which it stands.
