Why Natural Gemstones Matter in Bespoke Jewelry

In bespoke jewelry design, the choice between natural and synthetic gemstones has significant implications for the piece’s overall value and meaning. Learn why at TWAK we focus exclusively on natural gemstones to ensure authenticity and value in our custom jewelry projects.


Natural vs. Synthetic Gemstones: Understanding the Difference


Natural gemstones are formed over extended geological periods through processes involving pressure, temperature, and mineral interactions. These processes create variations in color, inclusions, and structure that define each stone’s distinct characteristics. Although synthetic gemstones may share similar chemical compositions with natural stones, it begins and ends here and at TWAK we source and offer only natural gemstones, aligned with our commitment to the best quality.


From Gem to Jewelry: Our Approach


Our Gem to Jewelry program starts with the selection of a natural stone, followed by a unique design of a bespoke jewelry piece. This program is built around close collaboration with the client, ensuring that the final design respects the stone’s characteristics and the client’s preferences and vision.
