About our pendants
Each gemstone pendant in our collection is handmade with love and attention.
During our purchasing trips we look at each stone one by one and carefully select the most beautiful, qualitative pieces with unique shapes. Only the most special stones travel home with us, to eventually be processed into a unique pendant.
Meaning of Tektite
This stone is shrouded in so much mystery, so much so that we don't even know what to call it. For now, we consider it a form of pseudo-tektite. It was found at a secret location in the Carpathian Mountains in Slovakia. The stone has unique grooves that have never been seen before.
Meaning
This type of tektite is also called Carpathian Cintamani, and while it's not an official mineralogical name, it's a spiritually inspired designation for rare pseudo-tektites from the Carpathian Mountains in Slovakia. These stones consist of ancient, naturally eroded obsidian (a volcanic glass) that, in its appearance, is compared to tektites like moldavite.
What makes this stone unique is its deep black to dark grayish-blue color, which can reveal a mysterious bluish glow in the right light. The surface is dull and irregular, formed by centuries of exposure to wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. No two pieces are alike.
The name "Cintamani" refers to a legendary wish-fulfilling stone from Buddhist and Hindu traditions, a symbol of spiritual awakening and deep inner strength. Although this stone is not a true Cintamani, some experience it as possessing a similar energy: intuitive, healing, and consciousness-expanding.
The exact location of the stone in the Carpathians is not shared and remains deliberately secret to this day. This, combined with its rarity, contributes to the mystery surrounding this stone. It is precisely this unfamiliarity that attracts many people: the energy feels powerful, ancient, and like a bridge between earth and the cosmos.
Care
Mónos was founded by Clara and Dion in 2021 when Dion was looking for such a pendant himself and couldn't find one anywhere. A free-form stone, beautiful quality, with a finish that didn't detract from the stone. So he decided to make it himself. Since 2023, we've been doing it together.
The name Mónos comes from the Greek mono, meaning one. Because of every stone, in this specific shape and color, there is only one.

Beautiful, clear site, many different types of stones, including lesser-known ones, and a wide choice per type, the best part being that you get exactly the stone you want. One pendant more beautiful than the other, very difficult to choose. The piece I chose was even more beautiful in real life. I've ordered another one.
Mónos Jewellery deserves a well-deserved 11/10 with every order I place! Beautiful, simple, unique, and high-quality pendants. I've had the pleasure of meeting Clara and Dion in person, and they are warm, friendly, and pleasant people. I now own 9 exceptional pendants.
I was quite nervous ordering it online like that, as I actually wanted to go to a store to see it in person. But I took the plunge anyway... and I'm super happy with it. The jewelry and the stone are exactly as pictured.
Beautifully packaged in fabric pouches along with a card explaining the gemstones. I also find the bracelets themselves very beautiful.
What I like about this website is what you see is what you get. You can choose exactly which stone or jewelry you want, not just a random stone or piece of jewelry. And they are beautiful and delivered quickly, as promised. I will definitely be back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are they real gemstones?
Yes! 🌿
In our collection you will find only real gemstones and crystals. We love unique pieces of high quality, gemstones that you do not just come across.
Sometimes they are special because of their rarity and sometimes because of the quality of the stone itself ❤️
What is 'Gold filled'?
Gold-filled is often confused with gold-plated, but they are actually two different things. Gold-plated refers to that thin layer of gold that quickly tarnishes; almost everyone has had a disappointing experience with it.
Gold-filled is something entirely different: a thick layer of 14-karat gold that is rolled onto a base metal, containing a minimum of 5% real gold.
It hardly tarnishes, can withstand daily wear for many years, and is nickel-free. It is a very durable and affordable alternative to 14-karat gold.
Is your jewelry really handmade?
Yes indeed! ❤️
All jewelry is handmade with much attention and love. This is what happens before a piece of jewelry appears on our website:
- The Discovery Tour: We scour fairs to select the most beautiful gemstones, one by one, based on quality and shape.
- Creation: We then use a diamond drill to precisely drill a hole in each stone, after which we attach an eyelet. This makes it possible to wear your jewelry the way you want - on a necklace or as an earring.
- Photography: And the best part? Every piece of jewelry is unique! We place an individual photo of every piece of jewelry on our website, so you can choose your perfect shape. There is only one copy of each stone, so you are guaranteed to have something unique in your hands ❤️
How can I know the size of a jewelry?
Two photos are available of each piece of jewelry. In the 2nd photo you will find my hand behind the jewelry so you can estimate the size. Please note: these are men's hands so perhaps slightly larger than the average female reader, haha :)
And if you really want to know exactly: my fingers are about 1.7 cm thick. I never thought I would ever measure this, but maybe it will be useful to you haha.
Is gift wrapping possible?
Naturally!
If it is a gift, you can let us know in the comments field at the bottom of your shopping cart . We will then wrap it nicely for you ❤️
Can the eye of a piece of jewelry be changed?
Unfortunately, the eyes of our jewelry are firmly glued and cannot be interchanged. Hopefully you will find another gemstone or shape that attracts you ❤️
