Transforming magnificent gemstones into breathtaking pieces of jewellery
Our tantalizing collection of handmade jewellery features as many as one hundred and fifty different gemstone varieties from all around the world. As well as those which you may be familiar with such as Turquoise, Malachite, Tiger's Eye, Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli, we also have many which are less well known such as Chrysocolla, Rainbow Calsilica, Hemimorphite, Prehnite and Pietersite just to name a few. Then we have those pieces which are either classified as rare or scarce or which are hardly ever seen in pieces of jewellery. Though these do vary according to availability, some of our regulars include Sugilite, Phosphosiderite, Eudialyte, Tiffany (Bertrandite) and Septarian
Although pendants by far make up the largest part of our jewellery collection, we do also feature gemstone earrings and rings although due to sizing difficulties with rings, we do only offer a limited selection online. The vast majority of our jewellery is fine sterling silver and many pieces feature our own SM hallmark from the London Assay office
What makes our collection so unique is that each gemstone in every piece of our jewellery is individually chosen by a member of our team prior to it being mounted. We never trust anyone who is not employed by Stone Mania to choose gemstones on our behalf and each piece of jewellery is then made specifically for us. The selection process is done over a number of days and during that time, we look at thousands of loose gemstones and as well as selecting pieces that have already been cut, we also frequently have pieces cut specifically for us directly from the original rocks. Having made our selection, we then decide exactly how each gemstone is to be mounted. The way in which our jewellery comes together means that we are all completely familiar with every pendant, ring and pair of earrings in our collection.
The quality of all of our gemstones is quite exceptional and they cannot be compared in any way to those found in mass produced or ready-made jewellery. We certainly don't claim to be the cheapest gemstone dealer, but we do guarantee that we are the most competitively priced for the quality that we offer.
Every one of the photos on our website has been taken by us and each picture that you see is of the actual piece of jewellery which is being offered for sale. We have during the years that we have been in business, built up an enviable reputation and loyal customer base as a result of the exceptional quality of our gemstones and high standard of workmanship
Our comprehensive gemstone directory offers a wealth of information on each of the gemstone varieties that we feature. It has been written by us and includes hundreds of onward links should you wish to delve deeper
Gemstones and jewellery have been part of history for thousands of years and the endless variety found worldwide never ceases to amaze and fascinate. Gemstones are naturally occurring materials desirable for their beauty, valuable for their rarity and sufficiently durable to give lasting pleasure. We pride ourselves at Stone Mania on the quality and choice that we offer our customers and as well as being our business, gemstones are our passion
