THE STONE GUIDE
KNOW YOUR STONE. WEAR YOUR INTENTION.
Every Circe Stones piece begins with natural stone.
Formed by nature, no two pieces will ever be exactly alike. Colour, pattern, translucency, inclusions and markings can vary from one piece to the next — and we believe that individuality is part of what makes natural stone so beautiful.
For centuries, stones have also carried symbolism, stories and traditional associations across cultures.
Use this guide to discover the stones within the Circe collection, the intentions traditionally associated with them, what makes each stone visually unique, and how to care for your jewellery.
Choose your stone for its meaning.
Choose it because you’re drawn to it.
Or simply choose the one you can’t stop looking at.
There is no wrong way to wear your intention.
LAPIS LAZULI
WISDOM • TRUTH • INTUITION • SELF-EXPRESSION
Deep blue, commanding and unmistakable, Lapis Lazuli has been treasured as an ornamental stone for thousands of years.
Its intense blue colouring can be broken by lighter mineral areas and naturally occurring golden-toned pyrite inclusions, giving every piece its own character.
Traditionally associated with wisdom, truth and inner knowing, Lapis Lazuli is often chosen when seeking confidence in communication, deeper intuition and the courage to express yourself authentically.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You want to trust your own wisdom, communicate clearly or feel confident speaking your truth.
LOOK FOR:
Royal to midnight blue colouring, natural mottling and occasional golden-toned pyrite inclusions.
CARE:
Treat gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, prolonged water exposure, ultrasonic cleaners and abrasive products.
RED FLOWER QUARTZ
COURAGE • PASSION • VITALITY • TRANSFORMATION
One of the most visually dramatic stones in the Circe collection.
Red Flower Quartz combines areas of clear or milky quartz with striking naturally occurring red, rust, burgundy and earthy mineral inclusions. Its appearance can vary enormously from piece to piece.
Traditionally, quartz is associated with clarity and intention, while red-toned mineral inclusions bring a symbolic connection to vitality, courage and action.
The result is a stone that feels powerful, expressive and completely individual.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You’re ready for movement, renewed motivation or the courage to make a change.
LOOK FOR:
Clear to cloudy quartz with irregular red, burgundy, rust and earthy inclusions. Significant variation is completely normal.
CARE:
Avoid hard impacts and harsh chemicals. Store separately to protect the polished surface.
OCEAN JASPER
GROUNDING • BALANCE • PATIENCE • RENEWAL
Ocean Jasper is for the person who loves natural stone precisely because it isn’t predictable.
Its appearance can move through earthy greens, creams, browns, pinks and muted mineral tones, with patterns and formations that can look dramatically different from one piece to another.
Traditionally associated with grounding, patience and emotional balance, jasper is often considered a steadying stone — an invitation to slow down and move through change without losing your centre.
WEAR IT WHEN:
Life feels noisy, you’re entering a period of change, or you want a reminder to stay grounded.
LOOK FOR:
Earthy multicoloured patterning, mottling, spots, bands and organic formations. Considerable natural variation is part of its appeal.
CARE:
Wipe gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to water.
ROSE QUARTZ
LOVE • COMPASSION • SOFTNESS • CONNECTION
Soft, feminine and timeless.
Rose Quartz ranges from almost translucent blush to cloudy, milky pink, often with internal veils, inclusions and subtle shifts in colour.
Traditionally known as a stone of love, its symbolism extends far beyond romance. Rose Quartz is associated with compassion, emotional openness, tenderness and the relationship you have with yourself.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You want to lead with softness, nurture yourself or bring more loving energy into your relationships.
LOOK FOR:
Pale blush to soft pink colouring with natural cloudiness, internal veils and subtle variation.
CARE:
Avoid prolonged strong sunlight and excessive heat. Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
CLEAR QUARTZ
CLARITY • INTENTION • FOCUS • AMPLIFICATION
Clean, luminous and beautifully imperfect.
Natural Clear Quartz can range from transparent to milky, with internal veils, fractures, wisps and crystalline inclusions creating unique patterns within each piece.
Traditionally associated with clarity and amplification, Clear Quartz is often used symbolically to focus or strengthen an intention.
Rather than choosing the intention for you, it is the stone you give an intention to.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You want a fresh start, clearer direction or one versatile stone to accompany whatever you’re working toward.
LOOK FOR:
Transparent to cloudy white quartz with natural internal veils, fractures and crystalline formations.
CARE:
Quartz is relatively durable, but a solid stone bangle can still chip or fracture if dropped onto a hard surface.
CITRINE
ABUNDANCE • OPTIMISM • CONFIDENCE • MOMENTUM
Bright without being loud, Citrine brings a soft golden energy to a stack.
Its colouring can range through pale lemon, champagne and warmer yellow tones, with translucency, internal veils and natural inclusions creating variation between pieces.
Citrine is traditionally associated with optimism, abundance, confidence and personal power.
It is often chosen as a symbolic reminder to pursue opportunity rather than wait for it.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You’re building something, chasing a goal or want a reminder to back yourself.
LOOK FOR:
Pale lemon to golden-yellow colouring with varying translucency and natural internal characteristics.
CARE:
Avoid prolonged intense sunlight or heat and protect from sharp impacts.
HSIUYEN JADE
HARMONY • BALANCE • PROSPERITY • GROWTH
Soft green and quietly elegant, Hsiuyen Jade brings an understated earthiness to the Circe collection.
Each piece can move through pale celadon, apple green and muted botanical tones, with natural clouding and variations in translucency.
Traditionally, green jade stones have carried associations with harmony, prosperity, longevity and good fortune.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You’re entering a new chapter, seeking balance or cultivating steady long-term growth.
LOOK FOR:
Celadon to soft green colouring with natural clouding, tonal shifts and varying translucency.
CARE:
Avoid harsh chemicals, sudden temperature changes and hard knocks.
STRAWBERRY QUARTZ
LOVE • JOY • CONNECTION • VITALITY
If Rose Quartz whispers, Strawberry Quartz has a little more fire.
Its colour ranges through translucent pink, raspberry and deeper rosy tones, often with visible internal patterning, streaks and inclusions.
Traditionally associated with love and emotional connection, Strawberry Quartz also carries a brighter symbolic energy of joy, vitality and appreciation.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You want softness without losing your spark.
LOOK FOR:
Rosy pink to raspberry colouring with varying translucency and natural internal patterning.
CARE:
Protect from hard impacts, excessive heat and harsh chemical products.
AMETHYST
INTUITION • CALM • CLARITY • REFLECTION
One of the world’s most recognisable quartz varieties, Amethyst gets its distinctive colour from naturally occurring trace elements and geological processes.
Its colouring can range from pale lilac to rich violet, often with bands, cloudy formations and clear areas occurring within the same piece.
Traditionally associated with intuition, calm and spiritual awareness, Amethyst is a classic choice for moments requiring reflection rather than reaction.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You want to quiet the noise, reconnect with your intuition or create space to think clearly.
LOOK FOR:
Lilac through deep violet colouring with natural zoning, clouding and tonal variation.
CARE:
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may affect colour over time. Protect from hard knocks.
AVENTURINE
OPPORTUNITY • GROWTH • OPTIMISM • ABUNDANCE
Fresh, earthy and easy to wear.
Green Aventurine typically ranges from pale leafy green to richer botanical tones and may contain subtle mineral sparkle or mottling.
Traditionally associated with opportunity, prosperity and growth, Aventurine is often referred to symbolically as a stone of luck.
We prefer to think of it as a reminder to recognise opportunity — and then actually do something with it.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You’re beginning something new, taking a chance or building toward a bigger goal.
LOOK FOR:
Natural green tones, subtle mottling and occasional shimmering mineral inclusions.
CARE:
Avoid abrasive products and hard impacts. Wipe clean with a soft cloth.
TIGER EYE
CONFIDENCE • COURAGE • FOCUS • PROTECTION
Tiger Eye is impossible to appreciate properly until it moves.
Its signature feature is chatoyancy — a silky band of reflected light that appears to travel across the stone as it turns.
Rich brown, bronze, caramel and golden tones make each piece feel warm and powerful.
Traditionally associated with courage, confidence, protection and discernment, Tiger Eye is the stone for backing yourself while keeping your feet firmly on the ground.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You need confidence, determination or the courage to make a decision.
LOOK FOR:
Chocolate-brown and golden bands with a distinctive moving, silky flash under light.
CARE:
Protect from strong impacts and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a soft cloth.
OBSIDIAN
PROTECTION • GROUNDING • BOUNDARIES • TRUTH
Dark, glossy and unapologetic.
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools rapidly. Its glass-like composition gives polished pieces their distinctive smooth lustre.
Depending on the piece and lighting, it can appear almost black or reveal smoky brown and subtle translucent areas.
Traditionally associated with grounding, protection and truth, Obsidian is often chosen symbolically when stronger boundaries or greater self-awareness are needed.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You want to feel grounded, protect your energy or reinforce your boundaries.
LOOK FOR:
Glossy black to smoky brown-black colouring, sometimes with subtle translucency under strong light.
CARE:
Although beautifully polished, volcanic glass can chip. Avoid drops and sharp impacts.
SAKURA AGATE
GROWTH • NEW BEGINNINGS • PATIENCE • POTENTIAL
Named for formations reminiscent of tiny blossoms, Sakura Agate is a stone that rewards looking closely.
Its translucent or cloudy base can contain soft botanical-looking inclusions and formations in creams, pinks, peaches and earthy tones.
Traditionally associated with growth and new beginnings, Sakura Agate carries beautiful symbolism around becoming — recognising that meaningful things often take time to develop.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You’re beginning again, building toward something slowly or learning to trust your own timing.
LOOK FOR:
Cloudy or translucent stone with organic, blossom-like inclusions and natural variation.
CARE:
Protect from hard knocks and harsh chemicals. Store separately when not being worn.
FLUORITE
FOCUS • CLARITY • INTUITION • ORDER
No two Fluorite pieces seem to behave the same way — which is exactly why we love it.
Fluorite can move through translucent mint, green, teal, purple, smoky grey and combinations of several colours within one piece.
Natural colour zoning, crystalline areas and internal formations make variation particularly pronounced.
Traditionally associated with clarity, focus and mental organisation, Fluorite is often chosen when life feels scattered.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You need to concentrate, organise your thoughts or cut through mental clutter.
LOOK FOR:
Green, teal, purple and smoky tones with strong colour zoning, translucency and crystalline formations.
CARE:
Fluorite is softer and more delicate than quartz. Avoid drops, knocks, prolonged water exposure and harsh cleaning methods.
PINK JADE
HARMONY • LOVE • PEACE • COMPASSION
Soft pink with an earthier, more substantial feel.
Pink Jade pieces can move through blush, dusty rose, mauve and lilac-toned pinks with natural clouding and tonal variation.
Traditionally associated with harmony, compassion and emotional balance, pink-toned jade is often chosen as a symbol of gentleness without weakness.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You want to approach something with patience, compassion or a softer perspective.
LOOK FOR:
Blush, mauve and pink colouring with cloudy natural variation.
CARE:
Avoid harsh chemicals, strong impacts and dramatic temperature changes.
AMAZONITE
COMMUNICATION • COURAGE • BALANCE • AUTHENTICITY
Cool-toned, refreshing and instantly recognisable.
Amazonite ranges through aqua, turquoise-green and soft blue-green, often with white, cream or deeper mineral patterning throughout.
Traditionally associated with communication, courage and harmony, Amazonite is often chosen as a symbolic reminder to express what you actually mean — rather than what you think people want to hear.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You need an honest conversation, stronger communication or confidence expressing yourself.
LOOK FOR:
Aqua to green-blue colouring with natural white, cream and tonal patterning.
CARE:
Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals and hard impacts.
FOSSIL CORAL
GROUNDING • RESILIENCE • TRANSFORMATION • STABILITY
Ancient, earthy and beautifully unconventional.
Fossil Coral displays distinctive organic patterns created by ancient coral structures preserved and replaced by minerals over geological time.
Warm terracotta, rust, cream and sandy tones can reveal intricate flower-like formations throughout the stone, making every bangle dramatically individual.
Traditionally associated with grounding and transformation, Fossil Coral carries particularly fitting symbolism: something from the past transformed by time into something entirely new.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You’re moving through change, rebuilding or want a reminder of how much strength can come from transformation.
LOOK FOR:
Warm earthy colouring with distinctive fossil-like, flower-shaped and organic patterning.
CARE:
Treat gently and avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners and hard impacts.
RED AGATE
COURAGE • STABILITY • VITALITY • CONFIDENCE
Rich, glossy and full of warmth.
Red Agate can range from translucent cherry and burnt orange-red to deeper earthy crimson, with natural bands and tonal shifts visible through the stone.
Agate has traditionally been associated with grounding and stability, while red varieties carry additional symbolism around vitality, courage and confidence.
WEAR IT WHEN:
You need momentum but don’t want to lose your grounding.
LOOK FOR:
Glossy translucent red, cherry, rust and orange-red colouring with natural banding and tonal variation.
CARE:
Avoid harsh chemicals and sharp impacts. Store separately to maintain its polished finish.
NATURAL MEANS INDIVIDUAL
The piece photographed online is a representation of the stone — not a promise that every piece will look identical.
Natural stone can contain:
• Colour variation
• Mineral inclusions
• Internal veils and fractures
• Bands and zoning
• Pits or natural surface characteristics
• Differences in translucency
• Unique patterning
These characteristics are not imperfections to us.
They’re evidence that your piece was created by nature rather than manufactured to look identical.
That’s the beauty of it.
CARING FOR YOUR CIRCE STONES
Your jewellery is carved from natural stone. While many stones are durable, solid stone bangles can chip, fracture or break if dropped or struck against a hard surface.
Handle your pieces with care.
• Avoid dropping or knocking your jewellery against hard surfaces.
• Remove before showering, swimming, exercising or cleaning.
• Avoid contact with perfume, sunscreen, lotions and household chemicals.
• Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
• Store pieces separately where possible to prevent them knocking together.
• Keep your jewellery in its Circe Stones pouch when you’re not wearing it.
• Some stones can be affected by prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Your stone was made to be worn - just treat it like the little piece of nature that it is.
