Beauty, Energy and Lithotherapy
🌟 For centuries, gems and natural stones have fascinated people with their beauty and energetic properties. These treasures of the earth are used for jewelry, meditation, and crystal healing.
We offer you a guide on gems, cabochons and their benefits, to harmonize your body, mind and environment.
💎 What is a gem?
A gem is a natural stone, precious or semi-precious, which can be cut or polished to reveal its full brilliance and virtues.
- Precious stones: diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald
- Semi-precious stones: amethyst, rose quartz, citrine, labradorite
✨ What is a gemstone?
Semi-precious stones include all natural gems other than the four so-called "precious" stones (diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald).
They offer a wide variety of colours, transparencies and mineral compositions: amethyst, topaz, citrine, aquamarine, tourmaline, peridot or garnet are some examples.
Prized since antiquity for their beauty and symbolism, they are widely used in jewelry and ornamentation.
Each gemstone has its own physical characteristics (hardness, luster, density) and sometimes associated traditions or beliefs, which contribute to its richness and timeless appeal.
🔹 What is a cabochon?
The elegance and power of polished stone
A cabochon is a stone with rounded edges and a smooth, faceted surface. Widely used in crystal healing jewelry, it allows you to fully experience the stone's energy. Cabochons are ideal for:
- Jewelry: rings, pendants, bracelets
- Meditation and energy rituals
- Decorative and energy-producing objects
🧖 What is a cameo?
Cameos are jewelry or art objects carved in relief from a material that is often layered, such as shell, agate, onyx, or carnelian.
Unlike intaglios, whose design is engraved in relief, the cameo features a raised design that stands out against a background of a different color, creating an elegant contrast.
Highly prized in ancient Greece and Rome, cameos frequently depicted female profiles, mythological scenes, or portraits.
Brought back into fashion during the Renaissance and then in the 19th century, they are now sought after for their fine cut, their artistic value and their timeless charm.
