Gemstones

Coloured stone jewellery is not only an expression of one's own style, but also always contains a fascinating play of colours, light and emotions. Gemstones such as sapphire, topaz, emerald or amethyst have captivated people for thousands of years due to their bright colours and unique properties, making them a popular element of jewellery design since time immemorial.Find out more »

Uniqueness and significance of precious stones

Our range of jewellery with coloured stones presents you with three centuries of jewellery art, in which the design and lines of the object are just as important as the setting with precious stones.

The fascination of coloured stones lies in their natural beauty and variety. Each gemstone is characterised by a highly individual chemical composition, origin and history. All these aspects are reflected not only in its appearance and processing, but also in today's interpretation of the stone and its symbolism. For centuries, jewellery with coloured stones has been attributed different meanings. The ruby, for example, is associated with passion and love. These attributions can give a necklace with coloured stones, for example, a deeper dimension and elevate it beyond its purely decorative effect.

Design possibilities with coloured stones in jewellery

Coloured stones are available in an almost infinite number of shapes and cuts, which has always offered jewellery designers and goldsmiths endless opportunities to express their creativity. Whether in classic rings with coloured stones or opulent chains and necklaces, the use and combination of different coloured stones can create stunning visual effects.

Another aspect that adds to the fascination of coloured stone jewellery is the individuality it offers. Jewellery with gemstones can be perfectly personalised and adapted to your own style. Whether you opt for a single stone in a striking cut or a combination of several colours, each piece of jewellery tells a story and reflects your own taste.

The rarity of the source material also plays a major role in the manufacture of jewellery. It creates an aura of luxury, value and uniqueness. Some gemstones are rare and (now) hard to find, which increases their monetary value, but also their attraction. For example, owning a unique bracelet with coloured stones that are rare and therefore difficult to obtain can convey a sense of exclusivity and specialness.

The fascination with precious coloured stones is a feature of both antique jewellery and modern jewellery and has been a popular choice for centuries.
