FAQs
Q: 1- What is semi-precious stone jewellery?
Semi-precious stone jewellery features natural gemstones like aventurine, jade, citrine, moonstone, and tigers eye set in gold or silver settings. Unlike precious stones (diamonds, rubies, sapphires), semi-precious stones are more affordable while offering unique colours, patterns, and believed healing properties. Each stone is naturally formed, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
Q: 2- What semi-precious stones are best for jewellery?
The best semi-precious stones for jewellery include green aventurine for luck and prosperity, tigers eye for confidence, moonstone for intuition, citrine for positivity, jade for harmony, and rose quartz for love. By Alona's Semi-Precious Wonders collection features all these stones handcrafted in London with gold plating, starting from £65.
Q: 3 - Is semi-precious stone jewellery worth buying?
Yes, semi-precious stone jewellery is worth buying because each stone is naturally unique, offering beauty you won't find in mass-produced pieces.

Prices range from £65-£290, offering accessible luxury with lasting value.
Q: 4 - What is the difference between precious and semi-precious stones?
Precious stones include only diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds — valued for rarity and hardness. Semi-precious stones encompass all other natural gemstones including amethyst, jade, citrine, moonstone, and aventurine. Semi-precious stones offer stunning beauty and variety at more accessible prices while still being genuine natural gemstones.
