Outdoor civil weddings and partnerships here to stay

Firey and ethereal, opals are recognized by the kaleidoscopic blazes of color within their milky depths. It’s of little surprise that the gems are symbolic of love, passion, and incendiary desire. That same notion is carried over into the modern gift of wood, which is forever growing and maturing. In terms of tones, stick to colors of white, turquoise, or purple. Stunningly elegant cala lilies and majestic amethyst round out this year’s symbolic gifts. This regal gemstone is said to have protective properties, shielding its wearer from any negativity or impurity—much as your relationship cloaks you from harm.
