Blue Brazilian apatites and those with a “neon” blue-green colour, such as Paraiba tourmalines, are the ones we like most for our creations. Apatite’s most common colours are similar to those of
Paraiba tourmaline, from blue to vivid light green. However, other colours are sometimes found: from colourless to white, from brownish yellow to greyish green. We work with ethical suppliers.
Aquamarine combines great clarity with clear transparency and blue to slightly greenish hues. Like many beryls, aquamarine comes from
large crystals that are suitable for shaped gemstones. We value aquamarine when it is fashioned into different bead shapes.
The color of rose quartz ranges from very light pink; which is almost white to medium-dark pink. It has been found that the delicate pink colour of rose quartz is due to microscopic inclusions.
The inclusions in this pastel gemstone give it a characteristic cloudy translucence that we particularly appreciate in our designs. We source only the highest quality rose quartz.
Lapis is a beautiful rock; a combination of several minerals, mainly lazurite, calcite and pyrite. Lapis lazuli is known for its dark blue to
purplish blue colour. In addition, lapis lazuli can have beautifully distributed small flecks of gold pyrite.
The essence of Amethys remains the colour purple, which ranges from purple to pastel hues. Amethyst is the birthstone of February and the gemstone of the 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries.
Amethyst’s most beautiful colour is a strong reddish purple to purple. Although most amethysts do not have inclusions, we source the finest amethysts for our creations.
The onyx is a type of gemstone that is derived from chalcedony. Chalcedony is primarily a silicate mineral, composed of calcite (similar to marble and granite) and usually has layers of contrasting colours. Onyx gemstones are
often associate with a jet black colour with some contrasting white bands in layers. However, onyx also exists in brown, red and white variants. We find it very interesting to incorporate these colour variations into our designs.
Pearls, both natural and cultured, come in a wide variety of colours. White and cream are the best known, but the colour range extends to all
colours. They are formed around a microscopic irritant in the body of certain molluscs.
We use Japanese glass seed Miyuki beads for our creations. Miyuki is the world’s leading manufacturer of seed beads. Their products are considered a “world standard” for their
high quality, brilliance and uniform shape. They are renowned for their attractive and beautiful beads which are available in different colours, shapes and sizes.
