Stone Questions, Answered
Everything you might want to know about choosing your DesigNA stone.
How do I choose the right stone for my piece? There is no wrong answer. Most customers choose by colour, by traditional meaning, or simply by what feels right when they see the stones side by side. Your DNA pattern is already unique to you, the stone is your way of layering personal meaning on top of it.
Which stones can I choose from? DesigNA currently offers a curated palette of natural semi precious stones, organised into colour families: Blue Lace Agate and Lapis Lazuli (Blues); Carnelian and Garnet (Reds); Aragonite and Tiger’s Eye (Yellows); Amethyst (Purples); Green Agate, New Jade Nephrite and Amazonite (Greens).
Are the stones natural and ethically sourced? Yes. Every DesigNA stone is a genuine, natural semi-precious gemstone, never lab-grown or imitation. We work with established UK gemstone suppliers who hold their own ethical sourcing standards.
Are the metaphysical meanings scientifically proven? No. The meanings we share are drawn from traditional crystal-healing and spiritual practice. They are part of the cultural and emotional heritage of these stones, but they are not scientifically validated medical claims and are not a substitute for professional medical advice.
Will my stone be visible in the jewellery, or part of the DNA pattern? Your chosen semi-precious stone is set as a focal piece within the jewellery, complementing, but distinct from, the DNA pattern of beads that forms the body of the design. It’s the personal accent on a piece that is already, scientifically, one of one.
Can I see the stones before I commit to one? Yes. Each stone has a dedicated photograph on this page so you can compare colour and character side by side. If you’d like a closer look or have a question about a specific stone, please get in touch, we’re happy to help.
