Find your unique centerstone

Each individual centerstone in the DANYELE DAE collection is selected by hand based on rarity, uniqueness, and value.  Find the perfect centerstone for your custom design jewelry that’s as unique as the setting itself.  Because of the mindset of purposeful jewelry design, DANYELE DAE created pieces and collections contain information on durability and associated jewelry type suggestions.

How often will you wear your gemstone jewelry?

When finding your unique centerstone for a piece of jewelry, be sure to consider the durability of the gemstone.  You can think of durability as the gemstone’s ability to withstand:

Gemstone stressors:

• normal wear
• heat and light
• household chemicals
• changing humidity
• jewelry cleaning devices

Because different types of gemstones have different properties, their tolerances to these stressors vary.  All the Centerstones listed in DANYELE DAE collections will have this information easily available to you.  Centerstone durability estimates are evaluated on three factors:

1. Hardness
2. Toughness
3. Stability

No single type of gemstone scores a “perfect 10”,  so all three of these durability factors are pointed out for you when choosing which gemstone is right for you and your custom jewelry design piece.

Fallen in love with a particular centerstone?

Opals, Sphenes, and Tanzanites have very particular looks, but rank in the lower spectrum of durability. Although these gemstones may not be as durable as diamonds, sapphires or moissanites, they can still be worn as pendants, necklaces, earrings without much worry about wear and tear. Because all DANYELE DAE jewelry pieces are custom designed, you can further protect your perfect centerstone by adding design elements of thicker metal, full bezels, and more.
