In Ukrainian folklore an old tradition held that a would-be suitor would visit a woman’s house to propose marriage. If the answer was yes, there was family toasting and celebration. If no, the poor guy was silently handed a pumpkin. The tradition dates back to medieval times and sources say many Ukrainian men would only propose at night so they wouldn’t be seen with a pumpkin in their hands if rejected. Blue Goldstone is associated with learning, communication & creativity. It gives the wearer a positive outlook and increases optimism, & sense of self.
