stones and other materials
- I prefer natural stones. The little imperfections of natural stones make a piece of jewelry more special. Synthetic stones are often too perfect and appear somehow "cold" because of this. However, synthetic spinels with their translucent deep blue color and the brilliant Swarovsky crystals are exceptions to this preference, as well as synthetic ruby because of its price.
