Our Jewellery Gemstone Guide

A fond memory of mine is my Nana Izzy taking myself and my sisters crystal shopping when we were just little girls. We would set out trying to find the perfect gemstones of which we would later transform into necklaces. I remember deliberating over all the stones, picking them up, putting them down, admiring their unique patterns and markings. I don’t recall what we ended up choosing but I do look upon this memories with such love and believe those early years sparked my life-long fascination with crystals and jewellery. 

At Cloud Nine Jewels we use natural semi-precious gemstones for our jewellery (with the exception of two beautiful man-made stones, Blue Goldstone & Opalite). The colours can vary from piece to piece, which makes each item unique to you. I’ve put together this guide to help you find your perfect stone. With each gemstone comes a story fitting to the powers that the stone is believed to have.
