Garnets have ancient connections with feminine life force. A garnet pendant worn close to the heart is said to promote balance and peace of mind. Emerald is associated with Venus, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. They say an emerald pendant can protect lovers from unfaithfulness. Opal symbolizes confidence, clarity, and calmness and is said to promote faith in oneself and hope for the future. Wear an opal pendant to capture these qualities.
