Cool-toned pieces for balance and clarity.

TheBalance & Clarity Edit

Balance shows up in jewelry as proportion: two stones of different weight, a cool stone set against warm metal, a strand where the spacing does the work. This edit collects those pieces — turquoise, kyanite, clear quartz, smoky quartz and lapis — and it is unusually careful about stone claims, because turquoise is the material most often misdescribed online. Where a stone is stabilised, treated or reconstituted, the page says which. Where a matrix, colour band or vein pattern is natural to the material, it is described as a characteristic rather than as a flaw. Read the specifications first; the photographs follow the same order.
