Blue natural stones for DIY jewelry creation (Sodalite, Turquoise...)

Choosing blue natural stones for your jewelry creations

Blue is a trendy color found everywhere in DIY jewelry. It often evokes serenity, depth and elegance. Each stone is unique: its inclusions, nuances and texture tell the story of millions of years of geological history. With their strong color, they are equally suited to summer jewelry or more elegant, elaborate compositions.

There are many blue gemstones to choose from, but among the most popular are :

• Lapis lazuli: with its golden reflections of pyrite, this is one of the most emblematic blue stones.
• Naturalturquoise: its unique blue-green hue makes it a must-have for ethnic and contemporary jewelry.
