Our Stones
Six stones. That's the whole list.
Har piece mein asli patthar. Kabhi CZ nahi.
We don't set fifty different stones. We set six, and each one earned its place: it holds colour, it survives being worn to work, and we can buy it honestly in the Jaipur gem market, a short walk from our workshop. Here is what each one actually is.
Amethyst
Purple quartz · Mohs 7
Comfortably hard enough for daily wear. Colour runs from pale lilac to deep violet; we buy in the mid-to-deep range, because pale material looks washed out against silver.
Amethyst can fade with long, direct sun exposure, so don't leave it on a sunny windowsill for months. On a wrist or an ear it is perfectly stable.
Blue Topaz
Topaz · Mohs 8
The hardest of our coloured stones, and very tough for everyday wear. A clean sky-blue that sits well against both our gold and white finishes.
Honest note: like virtually all blue topaz sold anywhere in the world, at every price point, ours is heat treated to bring out the blue. It is a genuine, natural topaz crystal; the colour is enhanced, and the treatment is permanent and stable.
Moonstone
Feldspar · Mohs 6–6.5
The blue-white shimmer that moves across the surface as you turn it is called adularescence, and it is the reason moonstone exists in jewellery. Every stone's sheen sits at a slightly different angle and strength.
It is the softest stone we use, so take moonstone pieces off before the gym, the kitchen sink, or anything abrasive.
Rose Quartz
Quartz · Mohs 7
Soft translucent pink, usually with a slight cloudiness inside. That cloudiness is not a flaw — it is what rose quartz is.
A perfectly clear, evenly pink "rose quartz" is almost always glass.
Black Onyx
Black chalcedony · Mohs 7
A form of quartz, and hard enough for everyday wear. The flat, deep black reads beautifully against a gold finish.
Honest note: ours is natural dyed onyx — a real chalcedony stone whose colour is brought to an even black. This has been the industry standard for over a century, because naturally uniform black onyx in usable sizes is vanishingly rare. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can affect the colour over years.
Lab Grown Diamond
Diamond · Mohs 10
A lab grown diamond is a diamond. Same carbon, same crystal structure, same hardness, same fire — verified by the same testing equipment used on mined stones. The only difference is that it grew in a controlled chamber over weeks instead of under the earth over a billion years, which is why it costs a fraction of the price.
It is not cubic zirconia. CZ is zirconium dioxide — a different, much softer material that clouds and scratches within a year or two of wear. The confusion between the two is deliberate, and a lot of jewellery in India is sold on it.
Why we refused CZRead this before you order: real stones are not identical
Every natural stone carries inclusions — tiny internal marks formed while the crystal grew. Colour shifts slightly from one stone to the next. Two amethyst studs cut from different rough will not be twins.
This is the proof, not the problem. CZ and glass are flawless and identical every single time, because a machine made them to a spec. A natural stone can't be.
Your amethyst will not look exactly like the photograph. It will look like your amethyst.

Caring for your stones
Last on, first off
Perfume, hairspray and body lotion leave a film that dulls every stone on this list. Jewellery goes on after you're ready, and comes off first.
Remove for water
Swimming, bathing, washing up. Chlorine and soap scum are both bad news.
Clean dry
A soft dry cloth handles most of it. Warm water and a drop of mild soap for a deeper clean, then dry fully. No ultrasonic cleaners on moonstone, rose quartz or onyx.
Store separately
Diamond scratches everything else in the box, including other diamonds.
