Genuine Gemstones

Our genuine gemstones are ethically sourced and hand-selected or cut at a lapidary, allowing us to procure premier cuts and colors from nature for our designs. Nothing in nature repeats precisely the same way, and genuine gemstones are no exception. Each stone carries its own natural variations in color, pattern, and internal character. When selecting gemstones for multiple pieces, we aim to choose stones that coordinate harmoniously, though subtle differences are an inherent part of natural materials. If you have a strong preference for a particular color or pattern, please let us know when you place your order. We’ll try our best to accommodate your request, but it is not guaranteed due to the nature of organic materials. Additionally, due to the nature of stones being hand cut, please anticipate the possibility of a slight variance in measurement.
