Starfish are fascinating animals which are part of a larger group called ‘echinoderms’, meaning ‘spiny-skinned’. The group includes some very spiny species like sea urchins, sea cucumbers and brittle stars.

Starfish do not always have five arms, some species have more. For example the common sun star and the seven armed starfish, both found in British waters and the crown of thorns starfish found in tropical waters.

There are around 1,500 different species of starfish in the world and around 32 species in British waters.

Most starfish release eggs and sperm into the open water, where fertilization occurs. Larvae then drift freely in the sea as plankton allowing wide dispersal. One of the most beautiful and interesting larvae is that of the seven armed starfish, which resembles a shooting star. When ready to settle, the larvae split into two sections. A small orange starfish, which sinks to the seabed and a transparent, jelly-like section, which continues on its way, surviving for over a month before eventually dying. The cushion Starfish is different as it lays its eggs, on the shore, which develop into tiny starfish.

About
The common starfish is highly common in UK seas, found in rockpools and out at sea to depths of at least 600m. They are active predators, feasting on bivalves such as mussels and clams. As such, they have been known to become a bit of a pest on mussel and oyster beds! Starfish feed on shellfish by pulling the shells open with their arms, inserting their own stomach into the shell and dissolving their prey with digestive juices, before reabsorbing their stomach full of the shellfish soup.

Starfish will form huge aggregations when food is plentiful, drawn in by their keen sense of smell. They don’t have a nose – they use special receptors in their skin!. Starfish aren’t really fish, they are a type of sea creature called an echinoderm, which means “spiny skinned”. Echinoderms includes starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and brittle stars.

Distribution
Found on all British and Irish coasts, particularly among beds of mussels.

Diamond Evil Eye Pendant PCA00401.

Meaning
In its basic form the evil eye is a curse passed from one person to another. This is usually done through staring, but it isn’t just limited to this. It can also be passed on through a false compliment or even through focused negative thoughts. The root source of this curse comes from a person’s jealousy; envy, bitterness or that they harbour some sort of resentment.

Once you have received this negativity many cultures believe the evil eye will cause “bad luck”. It is believed that this bad luck can manifest itself as misfortune or go as far as causing injury. Many of those who believe in the evil eye have an evil eye to protect them from the evil eye. Ironically the term “evil eye” references some form of amulet/talisman that offers them the protection.

The concept of the evil eye varies widely from culture to culture, but it is most prevalent in locations of West Asia and a few Mediterranean countries. In these locations the evil eye amulet/ talisman is called a “Nazar”.

Nazar is an Arabic derived word for sight. Although its basis is Arabic, many other languages have borrowed the term. Examples of its use can be found in Hindi-Urdu; Bengali; Persian; Punjabi; Turkish just to name a few.

Gold Evil-Eye Pendant.

Typically, a Nazar (Evil Eye) is handmade from glass, predominantly in concentric circles, but they are common in other shapes. Colouring is usually Royal/Navy Blue outer section, followed by a ring of white, then a ring of light blue and finishing with a Black dot. Although this is the most common and well-known variant of the evil eye, you will regularly come across cultural variations. And in modern times you will see it represented in different forms of accessories; fashion; homeware and jewellery items.

Historical records show that the evil eye has been around for thousands of years. Early examples of eye shaped amulets were seen from 3300BC. What is interesting, is the original curse touched on earlier has even older roots which are extremely difficult to trace.

Mozambique garnet displays a warm, deep red, ruby-like hue that rivals the beauty of ruby.

One of Mozambique garnet’s special qualities is its high refractive index, which gives this gemstone exceptional brilliance. To the untrained eye, they may look like dark rubies, but when light enters them, you will witness a vivid sparkle with a wonderful bright red colour. That’s what makes these White-Gold Garnet Butterfly Earrings look so special.

Caring for your garnet earrings.
Mozambique garnet is quite hard. Its fair to good toughness makes it a durable gemstone for daily use. However, the gem should be protected from extreme heat and steam cleaning. Also, the use of any harsh chemicals and cleaners should be avoided. It is safe to clean Mozambique garnet using ultrasonic cleaners. Use warm, soapy water to clean the gemstone. After cleaning, rinse in fresh water to remove all soapy residue and wipe with a soft cloth to dry.

Where Does the Mozambique Garnet in these 18ct White Gold Garnet Butterfly Earrings Come From?
Republic of Mozambique. Located in South-eastern Africa, Cuamba Mine is an important supplier of high-quality raw mineral material. Cuamba is a city and district of Niassa Province in Mozambique, lying northwest of Mount Namuli. Before independence, the town was known as Nova Freixo. It lies on the EN8 road, which connects it to the city of Nampula in the east and to the Malawian border in the west. Other locations where this variety of garnet is found are Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Thailand, and Mozambique.

Giving someone a piece of jewellery featuring Mozambique Garnet, such as these 18ct White Gold Garnet Butterfly Earrings, is believed to be the ultimate declaration of love.
