Vintage Gemstone Clip Art

"These gems have life in them:
their colors speak,
say what words fail of."

~ George Eliot ~

These vintage gems are

ready to be used in your artwork.

The first 3 images are in their original

color. The others were altered, but

not to be the color of any particular

gemstone. They all have a

transparent background.


I found the original gems
on birthday postcards:

November ~ topaz
April ~ diamond
February ~ amethyst

1902 Music & Pink Roses

Because

Because you come to me with naught save love,

And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,

A wider world of hope and joy I see,

Because you come to me.

Because you speak to me in accents sweet,

I find the roses waking round my feet,

And I am led through tears and joy to thee,

Because you speak to me.

Because God made thee mine,

I'll cherish thee, through light and darkness,

Through all time to be, And pray His love

May make our love divine,

Because God made thee mine.

~ Edward Teschemacher ~

Fair Perfect Rose

As a flower in the garden
Bending toward the sun,
Unfolds it's tiny petals,
One, by one, by one...
So faith expands it's beauty
Until at last it grows
Into life's lasting flower...
The heart's fair perfect rose.

there would be no rest;
if there were no winter,
there would be no summer."
