Colored stones – a whim of nature
Ole Lynggaard, Bigli and NANIS love jewelry designs with colored gemstones. Playing with light – reflecting or absorbing it – gives the gemstones a special brilliance. The endless variety of colors of the gemstones is a whim of nature. On the one hand, the chemical composition provides the color; on the other hand, metallic trace elements in the crystal structure determine the color. Raw stones rarely have bright and clear colors.
The sparkle of a gemstone depends on the nature and shape of the raw stone; only the right shape delivers an optimal result. The art of gemstone cutters is to extract the splendor of color from the blanks with the appropriate cut. Only through professional processing does the stone shine in its perfect beauty.

Green aventurine was already considered a healing stone in ancient Greece and gave its wearers courage, determination, ambition and optimism.
