  • 14 carat gold filled Not a thin plated layer that fades quickly, but a thick layer of 14 carat gold rolled onto the base metal, with at least 5% real gold. It barely discolours, lasts for years with daily wear and is nickel-free.
  • 14 carat gold Solid gold (585): 58.5% pure gold, all the way through.

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 Rose quartz

Most rose quartz is massive: a milky pink stone without crystal forms. That color comes from tiny fibers of a mineral similar to dumortierite, which run through the quartz. This rose quartz is different: it has grown into real, hexagonal crystals, which is rare. Its pink color does not come from fibers, but from traces of aluminum and phosphorus in the crystal, which turn pink under the influence of natural radiation from the surrounding rock.

Crystallized rose quartz grows in cavities in pegmatites, coarse-grained rocks in which crystals have the space to grow. The most important deposits in the world are located in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, and that is also where this rose quartz comes from. Until the late 1950s, rose quartz crystals larger than a few millimeters were unknown. Then, a cavity more than five meters long, filled with pink crystals, was found in Sapucaia do Norte. Later, Lavra da Ilha, a mine on an island in the Jequitinhonha River near Taquaral, became the most famous deposit: almost all rose quartz crystals in mineral collections come from there.

Because its color was created by radiation, crystallized rose quartz can slowly fade in bright sunlight. Therefore, it is best not to keep your pendant in direct sunlight.

Meaning of Rose Quartz

Love, Comfort & Healing

Rose quartz carries the energy of unconditional love and peace. It teaches you the true essence of love and to be receptive to the beauty of life.

This purifying stone opens the heart and teaches you self-love and self-worth. It helps you forgive and accept yourself.

Rose quartz makes you sensitive, soothes pain, and helps you free yourself from repressed emotions, grief, and conditioning. Its calming, reassuring energy provides comfort in loss, grief, and trauma, and heals deep emotional wounds. Rose quartz enhances empathy and helps restore trust and harmony in relationships.

Did you know that...

...the ancient Romans used rose quartz to make statues? The gemstone was engraved with decorations. The Romans believed that rose quartz was brought to earth by the goddess of love to stimulate love life.

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 ❤️
