Over onze hangers
The refined eyelet on the stone makes it almost look like you're wearing just a loose stone on a chain.
We select our stones ourselves at gemstone fairs. Among thousands of stones, we choose the ones that stand out, by shape, by quality, by an unexpected detail. At home in our studio in Breda, we drill a small, subtle hole and hand-apply the eyelet. Nothing else is needed. The stone itself is the piece of jewelry.
Betekenis van 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.
Over Mónos
Mónos is van Clara en Dion, en het ontstond in 2021 toen Dion zelf zo'n hanger zocht en nergens kon vinden. Een steen in vrije vorm, mooi van kwaliteit, met een afwerking die de steen niet in de weg zat. Dus ging hij het zelf maken. Sinds 2023 doen we het samen.
De naam Mónos komt van het Griekse mono, één. Want van elke steen, in deze specifieke vorm en kleur, is er maar één.

Veelgestelde vragen
Zijn het echte edelstenen?
Yes! 🌿
Our collection exclusively features genuine gemstones and crystals. We prioritise unique, high-quality gemstones that are not commonly found.
Wat is 'Gold filled'?
Gold filled wordt vaak verward met gold plated, maar dat zijn echt twee verschillende dingen. Gold plated is dat dunne laagje goud dat snel verkleurt, daar heeft bijna iedereen wel een teleurstellende ervaring mee.
Gold filled is iets heel anders: een dikke laag 14 karaat goud die op het basismateriaal wordt gewalst, met minimaal 5% echt goud.
Het verkleurt nauwelijks, kan tegen dagelijks dragen jaren lang mee, en is nikkelvrij. Het is een heel duurzaam en betaalbaar alternatief voor 14 karaat goud.
Zijn jullie sieraden echt handgemaakt?
Absolutely! ❤️
All jewelry is handmade with great care and love. This is what happens before a piece of jewelry appears on our website:
- The Discovery Journey: We scour trade shows to select the most beautiful gemstones, one by one, based on quality and shape.
- Creation: Next, we precisely drill a hole in each stone with a diamond drill, and then attach an eyelet. This makes it possible for you to wear your jewelry however you like - on a necklace or as an earring.
- Photography: And the best part? Every piece of jewelry is unique! We place an individual photo of each piece on our website, so you can choose your perfect shape yourself. There is only one of each stone, so you are guaranteed to have something unique in your hands ❤️
Hoe kan ik de afmeting van een sieraden weten?
Van elk sieraad zijn twee foto's beschikbaar. Op de 2e foto vind je mijn hand achter het sieraad zodat je de grootte kunt inschatten. Let op: het zijn wel mannen handen dus misschien iets groter dan de gemiddelde vrouwelijke lezer, haha :)
En als je het echt precies wilt weten: mijn vingers zijn zo'n 1,7 cm dik. Nooit gedacht dat ik dit ooit op zou meten, maar misschien heb je er nog wat aan haha.
Is een cadeauverpakking mogelijk?
Of course!
If it's a gift, you can let us know in the comments field at the bottom of your shopping cart. We'll wrap it nicely for you ❤️
Kan het oogje van een sieraad veranderd worden?
Helaas, de oogjes van onze sieraden zijn stevig verlijmd en kunnen niet verwisseld worden. Hopelijk vind je nog een andere edelsteen of vorm die je aantrekt ❤️
