Authenticity & Sourcing

Where our stones come from

Clear quartz — Donghai, eastern China

Donghai has been known as the Crystal Capital of the East for decades. Quartz has been cut and polished there for generations, and the local supply chain is deep. Our clear quartz comes from that region.

Coloured stones — Brazil, Uruguay and Africa

Amethyst and other coloured quartz varieties are sourced from established suppliers in Brazil, Uruguay and Africa. We buy through traders we have worked with for years rather than through open marketplaces.

What "source" does and does not mean here

We are a sourcing and finishing partner, not a mine operator. We do not own mines, and we do not claim to. What we do is choose stones, work with established workshops, and hand-finish each pendant before it ships.

Every pendant is assembled and finished in China. That is where your order is made and where it ships from.

Why no two pendants look alike

Stone forms under conditions that leave marks — colour banding, internal veils, fine inclusions, small variations in density. These are not defects. They are the evidence that a stone grew rather than was made.

We photograph in consistent lighting and we do not alter stone colour in post-production. What you see on a product page is the general appearance of the stone type, not a guarantee of the exact piece you will receive.

Treatments and enhancements

Any treatment applied to a stone before it reaches us will be disclosed on the product page. If a product page does not name a treatment, no treatment has been disclosed to us by our supplier.

Sizes and weights

Product pages list pendant measurements in inches and centimetres, and shipping weight in pounds. Measurements are taken by hand and may vary slightly from piece to piece.
