Our Azure collection combines gold-tone stainless steel with two natural stones. Amazonite, with its soft blue-green color, is traditionally called the “stone of hope”: it is believed to promote calm and sincere communication. White jade, an imperial stone in Asia, symbolizes purity, wisdom, and serenity. Since every stone is unique, no piece is exactly identical to another.
1. The Azure collection: where stone meets gold-tone steel
Until now, our jewelry has focused on the shine of gold-tone stainless steel. With the Azure collection, we add the texture and depth of natural stone: shades of blue, aqua green, and milky white, set in our usual gold-tone designs.
The principle remains the same: jewelry for everyday wear, without breaking the bank and without worrying about the passage of time. But with that extra touch of character that only a genuine stone can provide.
The LYDIA necklace combines amazonite and freshwater pearls.
2. What exactly is a natural stone?
A natural stone is extracted from the earth, then simply cut and polished. Unlike a synthetic stone or colored resin, it retains its natural irregularities: fine veins, variations in color, and sometimes tiny inclusions.
This is important to know before buying: your jewelry will never be exactly identical to the photo. That is precisely what makes it unique. To learn everything about these settings, see our guide to choosing stainless steel and natural stone jewelry.
3. Blue amazonite: the stone of calm
What it is: amazonite is a variety of feldspar, recognizable by its milky blue-green color, often crossed by fine white veins. It is mainly mined in Russia, Brazil, and Madagascar. Its name refers to the Amazon River, although the exact origin of the name remains debated.
What it is believed to represent: nicknamed the “stone of hope,” amazonite has traditionally been associated with calm, inner balance, and sincere communication—expressing things with calm and clarity. In tradition, it is often linked to the throat and self-expression.
Who to give it to: someone going through a period of change, or simply someone who loves soft, soothing blues. Find it on our necklaces and bracelets, such as the DANAE necklace with its amazonite clover or the LANA necklace with its sun pendant.
4. White jade: the stone of purity
What it is: white jade is distinguished by its milky, slightly translucent color and its very smooth feel. In Asia, particularly in China, jade has been considered the most precious stone for thousands of years—long before gold.
What it is believed to represent: white jade symbolizes purity, wisdom, and serenity. In Chinese tradition, it embodies the moral qualities people seek to cultivate, and it is often worn as a stone of protection and balance.
Who to give it to: it is a meaningful gift to mark a milestone—a new beginning, a birthday, or an achievement. Discover it on the DANICA bracelet or the DIMITRA bracelet.

5. How to wear natural stone jewelry
- Wear it alone as a statement piece: a ring or pendant is enough to elevate a simple outfit.
- Create a tonal look: pair amazonite and white jade—the soft blues and whites naturally complement each other.
- With pearls: mother-of-pearl and freshwater pearls pair perfectly with these stones. See our tips for wearing freshwater pearls.
- Layer them: mix stones with plain gold-tone steel for a distinctive wrist—find our tips in the art of jewelry layering.
6. Care: the only real difference
Our gold-tone stainless steel jewelry is waterproof and does not tarnish. Natural stone, however, requires a little more care—so let’s be honest:
- Avoid impacts: a stone can chip if it hits a hard surface.
- Avoid chemicals (perfume, hairspray, household products) directly on the stone.
- Use a slightly damp soft cloth instead of prolonged soaking.
- Store your jewelry away from friction—see our tips for storing your jewelry properly.
