The meaning of semi-precious stones: a guide to choosing

Choosing a semi-precious stone is not only a matter of aesthetics: for thousands of years every stone has carried symbols and meanings that make it perfect for a moment in life, a gift or an intention. Here is a quick guide to the natural stones we use most often in our tatted jewellery.

Amethyst — balance and serenity

With its deep purple, amethyst is traditionally associated with mental calm and spirituality. It is one of the stones most often given to someone going through a change.

Rose quartz — tenderness and affection

Rose quartz is the stone of love in all its forms: towards others and towards oneself. Its soft pink pairs beautifully with the light tones of the lace.

Lapis lazuli — truth and depth

The deep blue flecked with gold of lapis lazuli was the stone of the pharaohs. It symbolises sincerity, wisdom and awareness: a choice with character, for those who do not go unnoticed.

Agate and labradorite — protection and transformation

Agate, with its unique bands of colour, is considered a stone of protection and stability. Labradorite, with its shifting reflections, is linked to intuition and transformation: it changes colour with the light, like the moments of life.

How to choose

The simplest advice: choose the stone that draws you in at first sight, or the one whose meaning resonates with the moment you are living. In the shop you can filter jewellery by stone and colour, and if you cannot find the combination you are looking for, we can create it especially for you.
