Über uns
We are two passionate artists who design and create unique jewelry pieces from coral jade. Our journey began when we first encountered coral jade — a discovery that instantly captivated us. Its intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and the fascinating formation process behind this gemstone sparked a deep sense of awe and creativity.
Driven by years of experience and expertise, we dedicate ourselves to working with only the finest stones, crafting them into one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that tell a story. Each piece we create is not just jewelry, but a true work of art, showcasing nature's beauty in its rarest form.
Imagine wearing a piece of jewelry that no one else in the world will ever own. That's the magic of coral jade. Each stone is as unique as you are, making every piece we create truly special.
Warum bei uns einkaufen?
Quality is the most important aspect of our work. We create the jewelry pieces with great patience and dedication in our studio in Zurich.Each stone is carefully selected by hand and examined under a magnifying glass for imperfections, ensuring that only stones with perfect coloring and patterning make it into the collection.Stones with low density, excessive calcite deposits, or other surface imperfections are excluded.
Bei der Auswahl der Steine lehnen wir Steine ab, die eine geringe Dichte, dunkle Kalkablagerungen und minderwertige Steine aufweisen, die sich in der Nähe der Oberfläche eines ungeschliffenen Steins befinden (wir nennen sie Hautsteine).
Wir sprechen uns entschieden gegen Rohstoffe aus, die mit Chemikalien gefärbt und dann bei hohen Temperaturen gebrannt werden, um die Farbe der Korallenjade zu verändern und zu bereichern. Auf diese Weise würden die Steine zwar farbenfroher erscheinen, aber es kämen schädliche Chemikalien mit Ihrer Haut in Berührung, außerdem würden die Steine ihre lichtdurchlässige Eigenschaft verlieren.

About our Freshwater Pearls
Pearls are divided into two categories: seawater pearls and freshwater pearls.The yield of saltwater pearls is extremely low, requiring an average of three shells to produce one pearl. In contrast, freshwater pearls have a higher yield, with an average of 6-8 pearls per shell. As a result, seawater pearls are much rarer and therefore more expensive than freshwater pearls.
In the late 19th century, Japan developed pearl cultivation technology, leading to the prevalence of cultured pearls in today's market. However, only a select few pearls meet the criteria of being considered precious. These pearls are perfectly round and free from any imperfections. They are truly one in a million.
Naturally grown pearls, on the other hand, are not perfectly round and have a random luster. However, these pearls are more affordable compared to their carefully cultivated counterparts.
Rest assured, the pearls used in our products are genuine freshwater pearls. Their natural shape and beautiful luster are a testament to the beauty bestowed by nature.
