The Gaïa collection draws its inspiration from the Aquaprase stone that composes it. The natural inclusions imprisoned in this fine gem remind us of the Earth seen from the sky. These color variations from white to blue via chocolate or even green make each stone unique and exempt from any treatment: it is 100% natural. If you look closely you may be able to discern clouds, bodies of water and continents.

The Pasithéa necklace is a French creation. Like all Aglaïa & Co jewelry, it was imagined, designed and manufactured in France.

• Origin of Brass: Italy & Germany

In order to ensure the traceability of this new stone and its extraction conditions, we rely on the Gemologist Yanni Melas, fervent defender of the rights of minors who discovered this stone in 2013. Carine, our creator met Avant Chordia, partner of Yanni, who is in charge of stone cutting in India with a very strict "No Compromise" policy. In the workshop, international standards are respected in order to obtain the highest quality of cutting while protecting employees with the latest equipment. Thus, we ensure the total traceability of the stone from its extraction to our final jewel.

Aquaprase stones come from southern Africa. They are neither enhanced in color nor treated. Shades, irregularities or inclusions are characteristic of these natural stones.
