At Designs by Nature Gems, every piece begins with a single, defining moment — the stone. Raw, luminous, and entirely one-of-a-kind, the gemstone you choose is not merely an accessory. It is an expression of who you are.
Our Choose Your Stone process was born from a belief that jewelry should feel personal from the very first step. Whether you are drawn to the electric green of peridot, the deep violet of amethyst, or the oceanic calm of aquamarine, the stone you select sets the tone for everything that follows.
Where to Begin: Understanding Your Intention
Before selecting a stone, we invite you to pause and consider what you are seeking. Are you drawn to a birthstone — a gem that carries the energy of your birth month? Are you searching for a talisman of protection, clarity, or love? Or perhaps you are simply captivated by a colour that speaks to you in this season of your life.
There are no wrong answers. The right stone is the one that resonates.
Statement Necklaces: The Stone as Centrepiece
In our statement necklace collection, the gemstone is the focal point — raw, uncut, and unapologetically bold. Larger stones such as labradorite, raw amethyst, and peridot are set in sterling silver or oxidized bronze to let their natural character shine.
When choosing a stone for a statement necklace, consider:
- Size and presence — do you want a subtle accent or a conversation piece?
- Colour harmony — how does the stone complement your everyday wardrobe?
- Energy and meaning — what intention do you want to carry close to your heart?
Select Earrings: Framing Your Face with Intention
Our select earring designs feature raw and semi-polished stones chosen for their ability to catch light and draw the eye. From delicate raw peridot studs to cascading labradorite drops, each pair is designed to frame the face with effortless elegance.
For earrings, we recommend considering the stone's translucency — gems like citrine, aquamarine, and peridot glow beautifully in natural light, making them ideal for everyday wear that still feels elevated.
Rings: Where Stone Meets Skin
A ring is perhaps the most intimate of all jewelry — worn close, touched often, and noticed by those nearest to you. In our ring collection, stones are selected for their tactile beauty as much as their visual appeal. Raw edges, natural inclusions, and organic shapes are celebrated rather than hidden.
When selecting a stone for a ring, durability matters. We guide our clients toward stones rated 7 or above on the Mohs hardness scale for everyday wear — including quartz family gems, topaz, and sapphire — while reserving softer stones like raw kyanite for occasional or special-occasion pieces.
Our Promise: Every Stone, Thoughtfully Chosen
Each gemstone in our collection is hand-selected for its quality, character, and energy. No two are identical. When you choose a piece from Designs by Nature Gems, you are not choosing from a catalogue — you are choosing a stone that has never existed in quite this form before, and never will again.
That is the beauty of nature. And that is the heart of what we do.
Explore our statement necklaces, select earrings, and ring collections — and find the stone that chooses you.
