Lapis Lazuli

It's impossible to talk about natural blue stones without mentioning lapis lazuli first. Its intense ultramarine blue, often studded with golden pyrite flakes, is instantly recognizable. This metamorphic rock, composed mainly of lazurite, has been used in jewelry since time immemorial: the Egyptians used it to adorn the masks of the pharaohs.

Why use Lapis-Lazuli components?

• Spectacular color for an instant "wow" effect.
• Works equally well with gold (gold filled, gold plated) and silver (silver 925, stainless steel).
• Pair with amethyst, blue apatite or sodalite.

Turquoise

Turquoise is without doubt the world's best-known blue gemstone. Its characteristic blue-green color, sometimes veined with brown or black, makes it an instantly recognizable stone. It's always in fashion, from Native American jewelry to contemporary bohemian creations.

Aquamarine

Its name comes from the Latin "aqua marina" and that says it all! Aquamarine unfurls aquatic pale-blue hues reminiscent of limpid seabeds. A variety of beryl, it has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, making it a highly resistant stone, perfect for everyday wear.

Design ideas :

• Wrap bracelets to be wound several times around the wrist.
• Mala necklaces with natural wood beads.
• Light earrings for a fresh, summery look.

Combine your aquamarine beads with amazonite, moonstone or sodalite for a harmonious result. Find our aquamarine beads on the website.

Sodalite

Often confused with lapis lazuli, sodalite is distinguished by its characteristic white calcite veins and the absence of golden flakes. Its intense royal blue is just as striking, at a more affordable price. Its name recalls its composition: "soda" for sodium and "lithos" for stone.

It combines perfectly with aquamarine and lapis lazuli for monochrome blue compositions.

Blue apatite

Less well-known than its predecessors, blue apatite is a blue gemstone that deserves your full attention. Its bright blue, sometimes turquoise, color is particularly luminous. Its partial transparency gives it an almost aquatic sheen that's very seductive.

Why try it?

• A vibrant, electric color, very much in vogue.
• Beautiful in combination with lapis lazuli or sodalite for a cameo of blues.
• Works well with 925 silver for a sleek, modern look.

Blue Chalcedony

Blue chalcedony belongs to the quartz family. Its translucent pale blue hue, sometimes slightly milky, lends an incomparable softness and lightness to your creations. It's the ideal stone for delicate jewelry worn every day.

Our advice:

• Perfect for minimalist, feminine jewelry.
• Combine it with 925 silver or stainless steel settings to preserve its freshness.
• Combines beautifully with rose quartz, moonstone or aquamarine.
