In our artisan goldsmith workshop we create various jewels with precious and semi-precious colored stones. We want you to discover some of our favorites, telling you a little about the characteristics that distinguish them.
Colored gemstones precious
One of the colored gemstones precious, increasingly appreciated and in demand, is the paraiba tourmaline. Recently discovered in Brazil, this brilliant water-green stone is one of the rarest in the world.

The name of the rubellite stone derives from the Latin “rubellus” which means reddish and from the Greek “lithos” or stone, and is considered the most valuable variety of tourmaline, due to its very intense purplish red colour.
- Moonstone
Moonstone is a variety of adularia used in ancient times to capture lunar energy. Popular beliefs said that this stone originated from the moonbeams that hit the rock. It is characterized by a slight opalescence with bluish white and silvery white reflections similar to moonlight.

- Spessartite
Spessartite is considered a semi-precious stone, less known than the others used in jewelry, but with a particular color that varies from brown to orange. It is a garnet with a tangerine orange color, and its most sought after and appreciated variety has a color reminiscent of Fanta and for this reason it is called Fanta Colour.

We offer you a white gold ring, with a beautiful heart-cut spessartite embellished with heart-cut black diamonds.

- Tanzanite
Recently discovered, tanzanite is a rare stone, much more so than diamonds, because there is only one deposit in the world on the slope of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The most valuable gems are those with an intense and brilliant blue color, without inclusions.
