Turquoise – The Travellers' Protective Amulet

Turquoise has been cherished as a stone of protection for millennia. With its vibrant sky-blue hue veined with earthy matrix, turquoise carries a bohemian yet timeless appeal in jewellery. Culturally, it’s famed for guarding travellers: in Native American tradition, turquoise amulets were believed to keep negative forces at bay and ensure safe journeys. Many still consider it a good-luck talisman, especially for adventurers. Fashion-wise, turquoise jewellery adds a pop of colour that pairs beautifully with casual linens in summer or all-black ensembles in winter for contrast.

Latelita’s collection features stunning turquoise pieces – for example, gold-vermeil drop earrings handset with turquoise gems that evoke the expansive sky and sea. Wearing a turquoise pendant or charm bracelet not only makes a style statement but also symbolically protects the wearer from harm, according to ancient lore. Whether you’re boarding a plane or starting a new job, a touch of turquoise can be your stylish safeguard.

Malachite – Transformation, Fortune and Protection

Malachite, with its mesmerising green bands, is both eye-catching and steeped in legend. Often called the “Stone of Transformation,” malachite has long been associated with personal growth and protective powers. Ancient Egyptians carved malachite into amulets, believing it could ward off evil and illness. In the Middle Ages it became a traveller’s talisman, thought to shatter and warn its bearer of impending danger, thus protecting them on journeys. Beyond folklore, malachite is simply gorgeous – its rich emerald-green swirls make each stone unique. This gemstone is having a fashion moment as well, featured in many contemporary designs. Latelita offers malachite drop earrings and pendant necklaces that showcase the stone’s natural patterns.

Malachite earrings instantly add a vibrant, earthy elegance to any outfit, whether you’re in a business suit or a boho dress. And the significance behind the stone is a wonderful bonus: malachite is believed to shield against negative energy and even the evil eye, while also bringing good fortune to its wearer. It’s the perfect example of jewellery that looks striking and carries a meaningful aura of protection and luck.

Malachite’s signature green bands make each piece of jewellery one-of-a-kind. This gemstone has been used in protective amulets for ages, and today Latelita’s malachite pieces – from drop earrings to bold rings – let you wear its transformative energy in style.

Peridot – Gem of the Sun for Peace and Good Luck

Sunny Peridot is a gemstone revered since ancient times for its auspicious qualities. A vibrant olive-green gem born from volcanoes, peridot was called the “gem of the sun” by Egyptians and set into Pharaohs’ treasures for its protective and luck-bringing powers. In folklore, peridot was said to ward off evil spirits at night and bring the wearer peace. Today, this August birthstone is still associated with good luck, prosperity and protection – an all-in-one charm for wellbeing. Latelita’s jewellery line includes peridot earrings and dainty pendant necklaces, capitalising on the stone’s fresh green sparkle.

For instance, a pair of peridot drop earrings in gold vermeil can brighten your look while symbolically guarding your aura. The stone’s cheerful colour easily complements both daytime and evening styles, from a floral summer dress to an elegant black gown. If you’re embarking on a new chapter – be it a job, a move, or an exciting project – incorporating peridot into your accessory line-up is a fashionable way to invite positive energy. After all, peridot has a rich history of being worn for luck, peace and protection so it beautifully blends optimism with elegance.

Garnet – Guardian Stone for Strength and Safe Travels

Deep red garnet is famous as a symbol of protection, making it an ideal gemstone for those seeking strength and safety. In legends, garnets were carried by ancient travellers to guard against peril and light up the night on long journeys. This January birthstone has an earthy, wine-red tone that lends a sophisticated touch to jewellery. When you wear garnet, you’re wearing a bit of history – medieval warriors even set garnets into their armour, believing the stone could ward off injury. The protective reputation of garnet is matched by its associations with vitality and friendship. Style-wise, garnet jewellery is wonderfully versatile. Latelita’s designs include garnet pendants and rings that add a warm, regal pop of colour to your ensemble.

A simple garnet pendant on a gold chain can accent a blouse or dress with understated glamour, while a pair of petite garnet stud earrings offers a hint of rich colour for everyday luck. Beyond its beauty, garnet is said to bring the wearer health, wealth and happiness – essentially a gemstone good-luck charm. If you’re looking for a protective stone that also represents passion and success, garnet makes a meaningful choice. Think of it as your elegant little guardian, perfect for both daily wear and special occasions.

Ruby – Red Passion and Protective Power

Known as the “king of gemstones,” ruby has an illustrious legacy in both the fashion and spiritual realms. Its fiery red sparkle has long symbolised love and vitality, yet rubies were also treasured as protective gems. In ancient Burma, warriors carried rubies for protection in battle, believing these gems made them invincible. Many cultures view ruby as a stone that can ward off misfortune and ill-health, keeping the wearer safe from harm. As jewellery, rubies exude luxury – even a touch can elevate your look. Latelita’s ruby collection spans from delicate ruby earrings to statement cocktail rings. 

Imagine wearing a pair of ruby drop earrings to a festive event: not only do they catch the eye with rich crimson hues, but they also carry the lore of guarding one’s heart and home. Rubies pair beautifully with gold settings, enhancing their warmth, though they’re equally stunning set in cool silver for contrast. Beyond protection, rubies are thought to attract love and courage, making them popular for romantic gifts. By adorning yourself with a ruby pendant or ring, you invite those passionate, protective vibes into your life. It’s no wonder rubies have remained beloved – they promise style, romance, and a sprinkle of ancient magic in one vibrant stone.

Sapphire – Wisdom, Fortune and Protection from Envy

Sapphires, especially the classic deep-blue variety, have a storied reputation as guardians and guides. These celestial blue gems were favoured by royalty not just for beauty but for their perceived ability to protect against envy, ill-wishes and even poisoning. In medieval Europe, a sapphire worn to court was thought to keep the wearer safe from jealousy around them – essentially a shield against the “evil eye” before the term was popular. In addition to protection, sapphires symbolise wisdom, integrity and good fortune. They’re often called the “Stone of Destiny” for their association with attracting divine favour and helping fulfil one’s dreams. In modern fashion, sapphire-blue jewellery is eternally elegant. Latelita crafts pieces with sapphire crystals – from evil eye necklaces accented by sapphire-blue stones to classic halo earrings – that bring this gem’s mystique into everyday wear. 

The rich blue of sapphire complements cool skin tones and contrasts beautifully with neutral or white outfits, adding a regal touch. You don’t need a tiara to enjoy sapphire’s charm; a simple sapphire pendant necklace can make you feel like modern royalty. By wearing sapphire, you channel a tradition where style and spirituality meet – gaining not only a sophisticated accessory but also the legend of a stone that attracts luck and guards your well-being.

Rose Quartz – Love’s Lucky Charm and Emotional Shield

Soft and feminine in its blush-pink glow, rose quartz might not strike one as a conventional protection stone, but it is cherished as an emotional guardian and a magnet for love’s good fortune. Often dubbed the “Stone of Unconditional Love”, rose quartz is thought to attract loving energy and harmony into one’s life. However, it also has a protective side: this gentle crystal is said to dispel negativity and protect against environmental stress by calming the heart.

In other words, rose quartz creates a bubble of positivity and peace around the wearer – a lovely kind of protection for the soul. Latelita recognises rose quartz’s appeal, featuring it in pieces like pendant necklaces, stretch bracelets, and drop earrings that highlight the stone’s delicate colour. A rose quartz pendant in a rose-gold setting, for example, looks effortlessly chic and can be worn with anything from a knit jumper to a cocktail dress. Many people keep rose quartz close during times when they need emotional support or want to foster compassion (it’s popular for meditation and self-care rituals). By wearing rose quartz jewellery, you invite a bit of that nurturing energy to travel with you. It’s an ideal good-luck charm for those seeking love or mending a broken heart – all while looking perfectly polished. After all, rose quartz’s calming vibes help ward off negativity and make room for love and hope, which is protection of the sweetest kind.

Amethyst – Spiritual Shield and Style Staple

With its royal purple hue, amethyst has been adored in jewellery from ancient times to the present. Mystics and monarchs alike believed amethyst offered a form of spiritual protection – a clear head and a guarded soul. The very name “amethyst” comes from the Greek amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated,” because ancient Greeks wore amethyst to protect against drunkenness and imbalance. To this day, amethyst is associated with clarity of mind, sobriety, and shielding one from negative influences. If you’re seeking a gemstone to support better decision-making or to buffer you from stress, amethyst is a beautiful choice. It also happens to be February’s birthstone, and Latelita includes it in zodiac and birthstone collections, offering pieces like amethyst stud earrings and pendants.

The rich violet of amethyst adds a luxe touch to outfits – try an amethyst cocktail ring with your evening attire for a regal pop of colour, or wear tiny amethyst studs with casual wear for a hint of purple charm. Thanks to its versatile shade (ranging from lilac to deep plum), amethyst jewellery complements both warm and cool tones in your wardrobe. Beyond style, wearing amethyst is like carrying a personal little guardian of calm. It’s believed to soothe anxiety, enhance intuition, and create an energy field of protection around the wearer. In short, amethyst merges chic style with a sense of inner security – no wonder it never goes out of fashion.

Onyx & Evil Eye – Warding Off Negativity in Style

To cover all our bases in the realm of protection, one cannot forget the power of onyx and the iconic evil eye motif. Black onyx is a sleek gemstone that has been used as a protective amulet for ages. Polished onyx beads or pendants make for striking, minimalist jewellery, often in classic black that goes with everything. More than just a fashion staple, onyx is cherished for its ability to absorb negative energies and shield the wearer from harm, all while supposedly attracting good fortune. A simple black onyx bracelet or a pair of onyx drop earrings by Latelita can ground your look with edgy elegance and serve as a personal buffer against bad vibes. Onyx is also a favourite in men’s jewellery collections (think beaded bracelets or cufflinks) due to its understated cool.

Meanwhile, the evil eye symbol – typically depicted as a blue eye charm – is not a gemstone itself but often incorporates colourful stones and enamel. This ancient symbol is the ultimate emblem of protection across many cultures. Wearing evil eye jewellery is believed to ward off negative energy and ill will cast one’s way. Latelita has embraced this trend with evil eye necklaces, bracelets, and rings adorned with dazzling crystals and mother-of-pearl. These pieces are fashion-forward yet rooted in folklore. For instance, you might layer an evil eye pendant (featuring sapphire-blue and white sparkles) with other necklaces for a chic layered look that also keeps your spiritual “force field” activated. Many style-conscious celebrities have been spotted stacking evil eye bracelets with their watches or other bangles – it’s both a trendy and meaningful layering piece. By combining onyx and evil eye jewellery in your collection, you create a stylish armour: onyx provides the grounding, protective shield and the evil eye icon adds an extra layer of safeguarding charm. In day-to-day life, these accents can be subtle reminders to stay positive, protected, and oh-so-stylish.

Evil eye jewellery designs by Latelita blend fashion with folklore. These pieces – from charm bracelets to pendant necklaces – feature striking blue and white stones in the shape of the protective eye. Worn alone or layered, they are believed to ward off negative energy while adding a trendy touch to any outfit.

Conclusion: Wear Your Lucky Gemstones and Guard Your Style

In the world of meaningful jewellery, each gemstone tells a story. From turquoise’s wanderlust protection to ruby’s passionate shield, the stones we wear can carry age-old wisdom and positive vibes. Blending these gems into modern designs means you don’t have to choose between looking good and feeling spiritually supported – you can truly have both.
