Topaz
Although November's Birthstone comes in a variety of colors, Orange Topaz, also known as Precious Topaz, is the traditional November Birthstone. It is the symbol of friendship and the state gemstone of Utah. Topaz soothes, heals, stimulates, recharges, remotivates and aligns the meridians of the body - directing energy to where it is needed most. Topaz promotes truth and forgiveness, brings joy, generosity, abundance and good health. It promotes openness and honesty, self-realization and self-control. It aids in problem-solving, assists in expressing ideas and stabilizes the emotions. It is thought to aid in digestion, combat eating disorders, fortifies the nerves and stimulates the metabolism.
Topaz typically crystallizes in granitic pegmatites or in vapor cavities in rhyolite lava flows like those at Topaz Mountain in western Utah. It can be found in various areas including the Ural and Ilmen mountains of Russia, in Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Czech Republic, Germany, Norwa, Pakistan, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Nigeria and the US.

Halo now carries SnapPlugs in our studio. They are made in two different series; Series 1 is 4 Gauge to 0 Gauge and Series 2 is 0 Gauge to 1/2".
The idea is really simple. When it comes to stretching your lobes, it is all about the circumference. By using small and even changes in circumference between one SnapPlug to the next, a safer and more comfortable stretch is realized while reducing the risk of damage and blowouts when stretching your ears on your own.
Let us look at an example: Stretching a piercing with jewelry that changes by only 1mm in diameter, would result in about a 3mm change in circumference. In comparison, to stretch a piercing by 1mm in diameter using SnapPlugs, it would require about three stretches. This is because SnapPlugs are designed with gradual, systematic changes in circumference of about 1mm, which equate to only about 0.32mm change in diameter per jump. This makes for a much healthier and usually faster transition even though it involves more steps.
All other methods of stretching involve products that depend on the standard jewelry sizes that have varying changes in diameter, which result in erratic changes in circumference. Many traditional stretches require skin to stretch as much as 5mm in one stretch, which can cause a great deal of discomfort and damage to the piercing. Even plugs that have small 1mm changes in diameter, result in a stretch that is 3 times as large as a stretch with SnapPlugs. This is why we suggest you wait 2 to 3 months in between stretching when you have us stretch at Halo using traditional sizes.
Each SnapPlug should be worn a minimum of 10 days and up to 30 days, before moving to the next stretch/size.
What makes SnapPlugs a revolutionary ear stretching system is the implementation of a ‘transition ramp’. The transition ramp is a slightly tapered end located at the back of the plug at the widest part, so it can sit flush with the next plug in the series. Since SnapPlugs only have a 1mm circumfrence increase, the transition ramp helps ensure a smooth, painless stretch each and every time.
Unlike most other fish, seahorses are monogamous and mate for life.
They are also among the only animal species in which the male bears the unborn young.
They vary in size from .6" to 14" long.
From 00ga to 1-1/2"

Seahorses have no teeth and no stomach.
Food passes through their digestive systems so quickly, they must eat almost constantly to stay alive.
Population data for most of the world’s 35 seahorse species is sparse. However, worldwide coastal habitat depletion, pollution, and rampant harvesting, mainly for use in Asian traditional medicine, have made several species vulnerable to extinction.

sap·phire
Sapphires are available in a variety of delicate colors in addition to the more common blue shades. Sapphire is the most valuble of the blue gemstones.
The mineral corundum can be Ruby or Sapphire, they are scientifically the same mineral, they just differ in color. Corundum is the second hardest mineral, the first being Diamond, and is one of the naturally clear transparent materials.
They speak of dignity, loyalty, serenity, faith, purity and wisdom.
Throughout history, sapphire has symbolized truth, sincerity and loyalty. It is also thought to bring peace, joy and wisdom to its wearer. In the past, the sapphire was also believed to be a talisman that would protect against evil spirits and other unsavory creatures of the night. The ancients regarded star sapphires as powerful talismans that could protect travelers and seekers. These talismans were considered to be so powerful, that they would continue protecting the wearer even after they had been passed on to another person. (
