Stones You'll Want To See At Tucson
As Tucson approaches, certain stones begin to rise to the top of the trays. Not because they shout the loudest, but because they hold attention. Color that lingers. Proportions that feel intentional and presence that translates instantly, even before design enters the conversation.
This year, a small group of standout stones is making the trip with us. Each one distinct, each one chosen for how it holds color, scale, and possibility. These are the kinds of stones designers pause over. The ones that spark a second look, then a longer one.
Mint Tourmaline
Mint Tourmaline | Cushion | 12.1 × 17 MM | Green
Cool and composed, this mint tourmaline sits comfortably between freshness and depth. Its cushion shape softens the color, giving it a calm, grounded presence that works beautifully as a center stone or a bold standalone piece. It’s the kind of green that feels modern without trying too hard.
Merelani Mint Garnet
Merelani Mint Garnet | Pear | 8.85 CTS | 10.8 × 14.1 MM
From Tanzania, this pear-shaped mint garnet carries clarity and saturation in equal measure. The color leans clean and luminous, with just enough warmth to feel inviting. Elegant on its own, it also lends itself effortlessly to directional designs and refined statement pieces.
Blue Zircon Pair
Blue Zircon | Pear Pair | 10.10 CTS (total) | 9.8 × 10.3 MM
Precision cut and perfectly matched, this pear-shaped zircon pair brings brightness with intention. Cambodian zircon is known for its brilliance, and here it shows up crisp and confident. These feel ready for earrings that lead the design rather than support it.
Swiss Blue Topaz
Swiss Blue Topaz | Pear | 17.15 CTS | 14 × 20 MM
Bold in size and unmistakably clear, this pear-shaped Swiss blue topaz delivers color with confidence. It’s vibrant without feeling overpowering, offering a familiar blue that still holds its own in a lineup of more unusual stones.
Pink Zircon
Pink Tanzanian Zircon | Pear | 24.87 CTS | 15.1 × 18.4 MM
This Tanzanian zircon brings softness with scale. Its pear shape and generous size give the color room to breathe, shifting gently between blush and rose. It’s expressive, romantic, and quietly unexpected.
Mahenge Garnet
Mahenge Garnet | Cushion | 10.36 CTS | 11.2 × 12.1 MM
Known for its lively color and sparkle, this Mahenge garnet carries energy without excess. Faceted and well-proportioned, it’s a stone that performs beautifully under light and feels equally suited for refined designs or bolder statements.
Tucson
Together, these stones represent what we’re bringing to Tucson this year. Not trends, not themes, but moments. Each one ready to be seen in person, handled, and imagined into its next form.
We’ve shared a closer look at these stones on Instagram, where you can see how they move and interact with light on camera. If you’re heading to Tucson, they’ll be available to view in person at booth 822. Some stones make sense immediately. Others reveal themselves the longer you spend with them.
