Artisan's old school and still cool

silver gemstone rings

Just how old school is the word artisan well I did some research and during the middle ages artisan's were individual's who'd perfected basically..woof, woof.. mastered a skill....  they were known for their keen attention to detail, creative thinking and ability to work with their hands, an artisan was a  skilled manual worker, they were divided into two groups those who owned their own business called masters and those who didn't, the owners enjoyed a higher social status in their communities..hmmm woof...I think I could get used to being the master for a change!!!

Rubies are said to bring about peace and can help ward off bad dreams, when placed under your pillow. They may be worn in jewelry, but never close to the solar plexus, as the Ruby can bring feelings of anxiety or worry. Worn the right places can be very beneficial, like wearing a ruby ring on your left hand for protection.

Given as a gift, the ruby is a symbol of friendship and love. It is also the symbol of vitality and royalty. Rubies are known to aid the flow of blood and circulation. Feeling sick? Did you know rubies can actually cleanse and remove infections or germs in the blood? How great is that?!
