About our 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.
Meaning of Opal
A boulder opal is a rare type of opal found in specific ironstone formations (boulders) in Queensland, Australia. They sparkle in various colors.
Meaning
Progress, Stability & Cosmic Consciousness
Australian Boulder Opal is the second most valuable type of opal. This opal has a profound effect on the emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
Boulder Opal brings mental clarity in challenging situations and keeps you centered and on track during times of stress and change. It helps you rise from the depths of despair and strengthens your will to live. This Opal helps release old obstacles, guilt, and triggers. It brings emotional security, self-worth, spontaneity, love, passion, and eroticism. It soothes the soul and helps you find joy in the little things.
Boulder Opal is a bringer of faith, revealing inner truths about yourself. Facing your destiny, reality, your inner self, and your shadow side is essential for spiritual growth. This Opal can provide insights, visions, and knowledge, helping you see your purpose on Earth. It promotes communication with your higher self, Earth and Star Beings, and spiritual guides. It helps you remember past lives, strengthens cosmic consciousness, and helps you live from the level of your soul.
Opal strengthens the root chakra and also energizes the other chakras associated with its colors. It purifies dark areas in the aura, protects against negativity, and is incredibly protective when venturing into dangerous places.
Did you know that...
... Opal is known as the "fire of the desert"? This is because the gemstone is formed in volcanic rocks, and its unique patterns and colors are formed by the interaction of lava and water.

About Mónos
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.

Frequently asked questions
Are they real gemstones?
Yes! 🌿
Our collection exclusively features genuine gemstones and crystals. We prioritise unique, high-quality gemstones that are not commonly found.
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.
Are your jewelry pieces truly handmade?
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 ❤️
How can I find out the dimensions of a piece of jewelry?
There are two photos available for each piece of jewelry. In the second photo, you'll see my hand behind the jewelry so you can estimate its size. Please note: these are male hands, so they might be a bit larger than the average female reader, haha :)
And if you really want to know precisely: my fingers are about 1.7 cm thick. Never thought I'd measure this, but maybe it's useful, haha.
Is gift wrapping possible?
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 ❤️
Can the eyelet of a piece of jewelry be changed?
Unfortunately, the loops on our jewelry are firmly glued and cannot be exchanged. Hopefully, you will find another gemstone or shape that appeals to you ❤️
