AGATE

Agate is a semi-precious stone, a variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. Agates can present a wide variety of vivid, multiple colors, and can be artificially colored. These are mainly the result of traces of oxides of iron, manganese, titanium, chromium, nickel and other elements. All agates have a wonderful glossy surface and are hard enough for most uses in jewelry making.

CITRINE

Citrine is a semi-precious stone, a variety of quartz whose color varies from pale yellow to brown passing through red-orange due to a submicroscopic distribution of colloidal ferric hydroxide impurities. The name comes from the Latin word citrina which means "yellow" and is also the origin of the word "citron" (fr.: lemon). Due to its appearance and due to its energetic properties, the citrine is also called the "Maker of light". Also known as the "Merchant's Stone", the citrine is believed to bring prosperity when kept in the valuables safe.

Coral:

  • contributes to the release of negative energy
  • protects from rivals or enemies, thus being able to be used as an amulet
  • contributes to a more positive and optimistic outlook on life


DIAMOND

Diamond is a solid form of pure carbon with its atoms arranged in the form of a crystal and is one of the most famous and most sought after precious stones since ancient times. The hardness of the diamond and its high dispersion of light - giving the diamond its characteristic "fire" - make it useful for industrial applications and desirable as a gem. The diamond is the most romanticized and the most heavily marketed of all precious stones.

Diamond:

  • is a strong supporter of relationships
  • also signifies commitment and fidelity
  • attracts abundance, especially wealth


JADE

Jade is a mineral used as jewelry or for ornaments, being considered a semi-precious stone. It is usually green, although it can also be yellow or white.

Jade:

  • is effective to attract luck in all aspects of life: love, work or health
  • protects against evil, thus being ideal for eliminating anxiety and stress


LAPIS LAZULI

Lapis lazuli is a deep blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone since ancient times, which has remained popular even today. Lapis lazuli was used for inlays and insertions, as well as pigments for cosmetics and paintings. Today, lapis lazuli is predominantly used for jewelry.

MOONSTONE

Moonstone is a silicate of sodium, potassium and aluminum from the feldspar group, which has a pearly and opalescent inner luster, hence its name, being likened to the glow of the moon. Moonstone has been used in jewelry for millennia, including in ancient civilizations. The Romans admired the moonstone, because they believed it came from the solidified rays of the Moon. Both the Romans and the Greeks associated the moonstone with their lunar deities. In more recent history, moonstone became popular during the Art Nouveau period. The French goldsmith René Lalique and many others created a large amount of jewelry using this semi-precious stone.

Moonstone:

  • offers fortification at the level of the soul, but also for strengthening the mind
  • contributes to stress relief
  • contributes to the purification of negative energy in the mental plane


MORGANITE

A member of the beryl family, morganite exhibits a variety of pink colors due to traces of manganese. Morganite is one of the rarest members of the beryl family, second only to red beryl. Those that are deep pink in color tend to be the most valuable. Recently, this semi-precious stone has experienced an increase in popularity and value. According to a 2017 survey, morganite is the second most popular stone outside of diamond, after sapphire.

ONYX

Onyx is a semi-precious stone, the parallel-banded variety of chalcedony, an oxide mineral. Agate and onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands; agate has curved bands while onyx has parallel bands. The colors of its bands range from black to almost every color. Specimens of onyx commonly contain bands of black and/or white.

Onyx:

  • is essential for spiritual awakening, being a symbol of peace and calm during the night
  • contributes to calming and soothing everyday stress
  • helps to find self-control


PEARL

Wagner Arte uses pearls of culture in its creations. These are pearls which are formed within a cultured pearl sac by human intervention in the interior of productive living molluscs. Having the same material as natural pearls, cultured pearls can be grown in sea water or fresh water. Nowadays, it is believed that more than 95% of the pearls available on the market are cultured pearls.
The pearls have a translucent appearance and can have different colors, from white to black.

Pearl:

  • has the ability to balance the aura, helping to anchor and center oneself in a chaotic world
  • helps develop inner wisdom
  • provides protection and safety in all aspects of life


PERIDOT

Peridot, sometimes called chrysolite, is a transparent yellow-green variety of olivine. Peridot is one of the few semi-precious stones that appear in only one color. Olivine is an abundant mineral, but gem-quality peridot is quite rare due to its chemical instability.

Peridot:

  • banishes fears and nightmares
  • sharpens the mind and opens it to new levels of awareness and growth
  • contributes to alleviating feelings of jealousy, envy, anger, hatred and resentment


ROSE QUARTZ

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon dioxide. There are many different varieties of quartz, many of which are classified as semi-precious stones. Ever since antiquity, quartz varieties have been the most frequently used minerals in making jewelry and sculptures, especially in Eurasia.

RUBY

Ruby is a precious stone of a pinkish red to blood-red colour, a variety of the mineral corundum. Ruby is one of the most popular traditional jewelry gems and is very durable. Ruby is one of the traditional cardinal gems, alongside amethyst, sapphire, emerald, and diamond. The word “ruby” comes from ruber, Latin for red. The color of a ruby is due to the element chromium.


Ruby:

  • contributes to increasing energy and vitality
  • contributes to finding a higher self-confidence
  • contributes to a brave and positive state of mind


SAPPHIRE

Sapphire is a precious stone, one of the two varieties of corundum, the other being the ruby (defined as red corundum). Although blue is the most well-known sapphire colour, there are also natural sapphires in yellow, purple, orange and green. The sapphire is the traditional gift for the 45th wedding anniversary.

Sapphire:

  • is considered to be the crystal of wisdom
  • is extremely useful in banishing mental tension and negative thoughts, but also for focusing and calming the mind
  • supports creativity and the power of expression

TURQUOISE

Turquoise:

  • is a support for physical healing, but also for mental and emotional well-being
  • ensures emotional stability and serenity
  • is a crystal that promotes ambition and provides the necessary energy to turn dreams into reality


ZIRCON

Zircon is a natural, magnificent, and underrated semi-precious stone that has been worn and treasured since ancient times. It’s not cubic zirconia, it's a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates. Transparent zircon is a well-known form of semi-precious gemstone, favored for its high specific gravity and adamantine luster. Because of its high refractive index (1.92) it has sometimes been used as a substitute for diamond, though it does not display quite the same play of color as a diamond.
