About this stone
Ruby is a variety of corundum and owes its red color to chromium. It forms mainly in marble, as well as in basalt and pegmatite. After diamond, corundum is the hardest mineral. This pendant has been hand-drilled and fitted with an eyelet, without metal surrounding the stone, so you can see it in its entirety. No two stones are alike — you will receive the one pictured.
About our pendants
Thanks to the delicate eyelet, it almost looks as if you are wearing just a stone on a necklace.
We pick our stones ourselves at gemstone fairs. Among thousands of stones, we choose the ones that stand out: in shape, in quality, in an unexpected detail. In our atelier in Breda we drill a small, subtle hole and set the eyelet by hand. Nothing else is needed. The stone itself is the jewel.
Meaning of Ruby
The Ruby gemstone is a variety of the mineral corundum, recognizable by its striking red color. The origin of ruby is often linked to metamorphic rocks, in particular marble. In addition, ruby can also be found in basaltic rocks and pegmatites.

About Mónos
Mónos belongs to Clara and Dion. It started in 2021, when Dion was looking for a pendant like this himself and couldn't find one anywhere: a free-form stone, of beautiful quality, with a finish that didn't get in the way of the stone. So he started making them himself. Since 2024 we do it together.
The name Mónos comes from the Greek mono, one. Because of every stone, in this exact shape and colour, there is only one.

Frequently asked questions
Are these real gemstones?
Yes! 🌿
Our collection contains only real gemstones and crystals. Preferably as unique as possible and of high quality: gemstones you don't come across every day.
What is 'gold filled'?
Gold filled is often confused with gold plated, but they really are two different things. Gold plated is that thin layer of gold that quickly discolours, and almost everyone has had a disappointing experience with it.
Gold filled is something completely different: a thick layer of 14 karat gold rolled onto the base metal, with at least 5% real gold.
It hardly discolours, lasts for years of daily wear and is nickel-free. A very durable and affordable alternative to 14 karat gold.
Is your jewellery really handmade?
Absolutely! ❤️
Every piece is handmade with lots of care and love. This is what happens before a piece appears on our website:
- The hunt: We search gemstone fairs to select the most beautiful stones, one by one, on quality and shape.
- Making: Then we carefully drill a hole in each stone with a diamond drill and attach an eyelet. This lets you wear your piece the way you like: on a necklace or as an earring.
- Photography: And the best part? Every piece is unique! We show each piece with its own photo on our website, so you can choose your perfect shape yourself. There is only one of every stone, so you are guaranteed to hold something truly unique ❤️
How big is a piece?
Every piece has two photos. In the second photo you'll see my hand behind the piece, so you can judge the size. Note: these are men's hands, so maybe a bit bigger than the average reader's, haha :)
And if you really want to know exactly: my fingers are about 1.7 cm thick. Never thought I'd measure that, but maybe it helps, haha.
Is gift wrapping available?
Yes, it's always included! We wrap every order as a gift ❤️
Can the eyelet of a piece be changed?
Unfortunately not. The eyelets of our pieces are firmly glued and can't be swapped. Hopefully you'll find another gemstone or shape that speaks to you ❤️
