I'm Not Really From Labrador






On different levels the labradorite is a stone with depth. Its labradorescence comes from inclusions of other minerals. Upon first glance, labradorite can be an unimpressive murky brown, but when light hits it the right way, its display of color will amaze you. Doesn't that sound like something/someone you'd like to get to know?

Red Hot





Red, the color of passion. Rubies, rhodolites, garnets, and a few other diamonds, opals, and citrines in there, too!

Aurora Borealis







Aurora borealis is a type of topaz or rhinestone that shines with irridescence. The technique involves depositing a very thin layer of metallic atoms on the lower surface of the stone. This process was invented in 1955 by the Swarovski company together with Christian Dior.

Purple Heart


Feeling tipsy? Wear an amethyst, which is believed to protect its owner from drunkenness. Want something rarer than diamonds? Have a tanzanite! Otherwise go for the raspberry tourmalines or mystic topazes!





Flower Power









Flowers come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Here you will find mothers of pearl, topaz, green tourmaline, garnet, citrine, and rutilated quartz.

Mellow Yellow

Ambers, lemon quartzes, opals, and citrines. Yellow never looked so pretty!





Something Green






Emeralds, peridots, moldavites, green quartz, turquoise, oh my!

In the Pink

As you can see, I love rose quartzes, pink tourmalines, and pink sapphires. I am also partial to the solitaire setting and white gold/silver jewelry.
