If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, Rejoice, for your soul is alive.
~Eleanore Duse
Splashes of the beautiful blues in Larimar look great on all skin tones. Wear colors of the sea and sky to bring you back to nature!
More varied than any landscape was the landscape in
the sky, with islands of gold and silver, peninsulas of apricot and
rose against a background of many shades of turquoise and azure.
~Cecil Beaton
Turquoise is the birthstone for December.
First mined more than 6000 years ago in the Sinai Desert in the Middle
East, it has a rich and colorful history. In many cultures, this
gemstone has been esteemed for thousands of years as a holy stone, a
bringer of good fortune or a talisman.
For many years at Ellora, we've thought a bit of turquoise looks great with a simple top and a comfy pair of jeans, as well as that perfect black dress. It's so versatile!
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
~Albert Camus
Citrine is the birthstone for November. It got its name from the french word for lemon, citron. In ancient times, Citrine was carried as protection from evil thoughts and snake venom.
The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.
~Chinese Proverb
Kanji is Japanese script derived from Chinese
characters. The characters represent words or ideas instead of syllables. The meanings of the characters can be read differently when they are combined with different characters.
We've got some great jewelry with Kanji, like the bracelet above and this beautiful blessings pendant. Both inspiring pieces combine jade with sterling silver.
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy

Ok, but what is amber? Amber is formed from fossilized sap of trees from millions of years ago. Most of the world's amber is in the range of 30–90 million years old. Amber comes in many colors including gold and orange, cherry, green, and yellow. We love the contrast of the warm amber with the coolness of the sterling silver.
The Baltic Amber and Sterling Silver earrings above are available here.
