Labradorite, amazonite, rose quartz, onyx, lapis lazuli… Natural stones are at the heart of every Méora Paris creation. Passionate about stones, Victoire, the brand's founder, trained in gemology at the Institut National de Gemmologie (ING, the French National Gemology Institute). Here are the stones you'll find in our jewelry, their color and the symbolism traditionally associated with them.
Stone symbolism comes from tradition and crystal healing (lithotherapy): it has no proven therapeutic effect. We share it to help you choose a stone that feels like you.

Every stone is unique
Natural stones vary slightly in color, veining and transparency from one piece to the next: yours may be a little lighter or darker than in the photo. That's what gives natural stone jewelry its charm.
