Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the materials we use in jewelry design, especially gemstones. There’s just something so captivating about how different stones can completely change the vibe of a piece, don’t you think?

For me, I’m in awe of how designers work with gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, or diamonds to create something truly unique. What are your go-to gems? Do you have a favorite stone that you always find yourself reaching for in your designs?

I’m also curious – how do you choose your materials? Whether it’s based on ethical sourcing, personal preference, or just what catches your eye, I’d love to hear how others approach this part of the craft.

And for those who experiment with different materials – like wood, glass, or even something totally unconventional – how do you bring those elements into your work? What’s been your experience with using alternative materials?

Let’s share some insights and inspiration! Looking forward to hearing about your favorite materials and how you bring them to life in your designs.
