March 13th is National Jewel Day, an annual celebration dedicated to giving and receiving jewels. The term "jewels" refers to both precious and semi-precious gemstones, encompassing natural and human-made varieties. With nearly 130 types of minerals used as gemstones, including artificial and synthetic stones, the world of jewels is diverse.

The term "Jewel" itself traces its origins to the Ancient Latin word "Jocale," meaning plaything. National Jewel Day offers an ideal opportunity to appreciate jewelers by adorning the gems you already possess, acknowledging the craftsmanship and beauty of these precious stones.
