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
Honduran opal is a special matrix opal: the colorful precious opal is scattered within black volcanic basalt, which, as a dark background, beautifully highlights the colors. The opal formed when water full of dissolved silica settled into the small cavities of the basalt; the play of colors occurs because light refracts on the microscopic silica spheres that make up opal. Honduras has some of the oldest opal mines in the world, with always limited production. Because opal naturally contains some water, it is a rather soft stone that is best worn with care.
Meaning of Honduran Opal
Emotional Healing, Transformation & Inner Light
Honduran opal is a stone of emotional depth. The play of colors that emanates from the deep black symbolizes light emerging from darkness. The stone helps you to continue to see your own color and life force even in difficult times.
The stone supports emotional healing and the processing of feelings. It helps you gently release and process deeply buried emotions, so you start to feel lighter and clearer. Honduran opal brings movement where feelings were stuck.
Honduran opal also carries a transformative energy. The deep black with illuminating colors reminds you that change and growth can emerge precisely from dark times. A stone that supports you in shedding old layers and starting anew.
Thus, Honduran opal combines depth with light. A stone for those who want to process emotions, grow through change, and keep seeing their own inner light, even when it's dark.

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 ❤️
