Gemstones for your handmade silver piece
Add a stone to anything you make in class. IDR 200K per stone, set into your own piece before you leave the bench.
Zirconia
Brilliant & colourless
The brightest sparkle for the smallest budget. Cut to catch light like a diamond, it suits a first ring where you want shine without the price.
Energy
Clarity and a clean start
Pairs well with
Solitaire rings, simple pendants
Tanzanite
Violet blue, found in one place
Mined only in a small stretch of Tanzania, it shifts between blue and violet as you turn it. A stone for a piece meant to mark something.
Energy
Intuition and change
Pairs well with
Statement rings, drop pendants
Sapphire
Deep blue, built to last
Second only to diamond in hardness, so it takes daily wear without fuss. The classic choice for a ring you never take off.
Energy
Wisdom and loyalty
Pairs well with
Engagement rings, signet rings
Green Emerald
Garden green
A warm, living green that reads richer in daylight than any photograph shows. Softer than sapphire, so we set it protected.
Energy
Growth and renewal
Pairs well with
Pendants, earrings, bezel-set rings
Garnet
Deep wine red
Darker and warmer than ruby, with a glow that suits silver beautifully. An easy stone to love and an easy one to wear.
Energy
Warmth and devotion
Pairs well with
Rings, cufflinks, charm pendants
Peridot
Olive and sunlit
A yellow-green that stays bright even in low light. Cheerful without being loud, and lovely against oxidised silver.
Energy
Lightness and good fortune
Pairs well with
Stacking rings, small pendants
Moonstone
Soft blue shimmer
Turn it and a blue sheen moves across the surface. Traditionally worn at the start of something new.
Energy
Calm and new cycles
Pairs well with
Cabochon rings, pendants
Larimar
Caribbean sea blue
Found only in the Dominican Republic, patterned like shallow water over sand. Soft, so we set it where it will not knock.
Energy
Sea calm and clear speech
Pairs well with
Pendants, earrings
Turquoise
Sky blue with matrix
The traveller stone, worn for centuries by people far from home. Its dark veining makes every piece one of a kind.
Energy
Protection on a journey
Pairs well with
Wide-band rings, pendants
Tourmaline
One stone, many colours
Comes in green, pink, watermelon and near-black. If you want a colour nobody else has, this is where to look.
Energy
Grounding and steadiness
Pairs well with
Rings, bar pendants, earrings
Setting a stone in your class
Choose your stone
Look through the tray at the bench and pick the one that catches you. We will tell you honestly how it will wear.
We prepare the setting
While you shape your piece, our silversmith forms the bezel or prongs that will hold the stone.
You set it yourself
With the smith guiding your hands, you press the silver over the stone and polish the piece. It leaves with you.
