Diamonds are a girl's best friend. But why give a diamond to your zodiac lover this holiday when you can give them a gem that resonates with their sign! Here's a list of special stones to look for when you pick out jewelry for your lover this year!

Part Two: Earth Signs

Taurus: The birthstone for Taurus is the emerald. This stone helps aid the bull with memory and will ensure his/her loyalty. Saphirre, on the other hand, is Taurus's zodiac gemstone. Saphirre is said to give the wearer visions of the future, and when placed on the forward head, it is said Saphirre removes impurities and restores vision. Could be a cheap alternative to Lasik for those vision-impaired bulls? :P

Virgo: Peridot is the Virgin's birthstone and is said to break evil spells, as well as, drive away evil spirits especially by wearing it on the left arm. Peridot is also known to keep the green-eyed monster at bay. So, if you're have a jealous one on your hands, this is definitely the stone to pick. Another stone to look for is Carnelian, Virgo's zodiac gemstone. It balances creative and mental processing and is also good for bringing luck, as well as, helping those who have a hard time speaking up. Although, Virgo usually doesn't have a problem with that.

Capricorn: Garnet is the birthstone for the goat and is said to inspire romantic love, passion, empowerment, and fame. The goat can attract love and popularity with this one, so becareful especially if you're the jealous type. If you're more concerned with your sweetie's health, you may want to pick out the garnet. It's said to have many healing properties to the mind and body. Might be a good choice for those workaholics. In addition, Ruby is the zodiac gemstone for Capricorn, and it is known to be a powerful aid in helping one follow their bliss. It is also said that using the stone will help bring light to dark places. If you're goat's down and out this holiday season, this is definitely the way to go!
