Natural stones and their meanings: the Maison Di Giorgio guide
Natural stones have fascinated humanity since the dawn of time. From the adornments of ancient civilizations to contemporary jewelry creations, they have crossed the ages without ever losing their brilliance. Today, they hold a central place at Maison Di Giorgio, where we celebrate their authenticity through jewelry designed to enhance every personality.
Understanding the meaning of stones allows you to choose a piece of jewelry with intention, in harmony with your style, emotions, or temperament. In this guide, we invite you to explore the wide variety of semi-precious stones that enrich our collections and the symbolism that makes them so special.
Why choose jewelry made with natural stones?
Natural stones, or semi-precious stones, are the result of geological processes spanning millions of years. Unlike synthetic stones, each gem has its own nuances, inclusions, and reflections.
At Maison Di Giorgio, we work with a very wide palette of natural stones, which is one of our greatest creative strengths. This diversity allows us to offer truly unique jewelry: no necklace, bracelet, or ring is ever exactly the same as another. It is this singularity that gives real emotional value to our creations, transforming a simple accessory into a meaningful companion for life.
The House’s signature stones and their meanings
Our catalog stands out for the diversity of minerals used. Here is an overview of the stones you will find at the heart of our collections:
Stones of serenity and balance
- Amethyst: Recognizable by its violet hue, it symbolizes wisdom and clarity of mind. It brings a touch of nobility and calm to everyday outfits.
- Rose Quartz: The ultimate stone of gentleness. It evokes harmony and tenderness, ideal for delicate and luminous jewelry.
- Chalcedony: With its pastel shades (blue or pink), it symbolizes softness and peaceful communication.
Stones of strength and protection
- Labradorite: Fascinating for its iridescent reflections, it is traditionally associated with protection and inner strength. A stone of character for bold women.
- Onyx (Black or Green): A symbol of determination and self-confidence. Black onyx offers timeless elegance, while green onyx brings vibrant freshness.
- Tiger’s Eye: Known for its shimmering appearance, it symbolizes courage and acts as a protective shield.
Stones of energy and radiance

- Amazonite: With its blue-green hues, it evokes freedom and the spontaneous expression of the heart.
- Tourmaline: A fascinating stone available in an incredible range of colors (pink, green, black). It symbolizes kindness and protection, while adding a modern, vibrant touch of color to jewelry.
The magic of organic materials
- White Mother-of-Pearl: Born from the depths of the sea, mother-of-pearl symbolizes purity and femininity. It brings a soft, iridescent glow, especially prized in our rings and necklaces.
How to choose the stone that reflects you?
With so many options, choosing may seem difficult. Our advice: let your intuition and your style guide you.
- By color: Are you drawn to the depth of Lapis Lazuli, the vibrancy of Turquoise, or the subtlety of Moonstone? Color is often the first emotional connection with a piece of jewelry.
- By intention: Are you looking for a jewel that evokes calm (Amethyst, Quartz) or one that boosts confidence (Onyx, Peridot)?
- By occasion: For everyday wear, neutral or pastel stones pair easily with any outfit. For an evening look, an intense stone like Malachite or Garnet becomes the centerpiece of your style.
The Maison Di Giorgio commitment: authenticity and modernity
At Maison Di Giorgio, stones are not mere ornaments. They are carefully selected for their quality and set into modern designs: Sterling Silver 925, 18k gold-plated finishes, or solid gold.
Our approach avoids complex esotericism and focuses instead on timeless elegance and the pleasure of wearing a noble material. We believe every woman deserves a piece of jewelry that tells her story, with no compromise on quality.
