Natural Gemstone Jewelry

Untreated stones set in solid silver — named honestly, without the healing-crystal claims most shops attach to them.

We sell gemstone jewelry because the stones are beautiful, not because they will fix anything. Every piece here uses real, untreated mineral — garnet, aquamarine, rose quartz, grey moonstone, blue sodalite, yellow tower quartz, black agate — and we name it as it is.

The reason to buy natural over dyed is simple: the colour goes all the way through. A dyed howlite bead sold as turquoise fades and goes grey within a season. Natural aquamarine keeps its pale blue indefinitely because that colour is what the crystal actually is. You pay more up front and replace it never.

Most designs pair the stone with a counterweight: garnet beads against sterling silver spacers, rose quartz dropped with a baroque pearl, aquamarine doubled with moonstone so the cool tones stack. Rings set single stones at an opening; necklaces alternate stone and pearl along a strand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your gemstones treated or dyed?
The stones we use are natural and untreated unless a product page says otherwise. We name each stone in the title and description so you can check it yourself.
Why do the colours vary between pieces?
Natural crystals vary. Veining, saturation and banding all change between stones from the same deposit, which is how you can tell they were not manufactured to a colour card.
Do gemstones have healing properties?
We make no medical or healing claims. Our gemstone jewelry is sold for how it looks and how it is made. If a piece makes you feel good, that is your business and we are glad of it.
How do I clean gemstone jewelry?
Lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap, a soft brush, then dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners on pearls and on stones with natural fractures.
