This Monday, SARDA™ drops three distinct collections in one show — carved mermaid pendants, a colorful bypass ring suite, and a full sea-toned family built around a shimmering teal triplet stone. Here's a closer look at every gemstone making its debut this week.
Golden Sheen Labradorite — The Mermaid's Mirror
Few stones command attention the way golden sheen labradorite does. This feldspar mineral from Madagascar carries an inner glow called labradorescence — light refracts through microscopic crystal layers to produce a floating golden shimmer that shifts with every movement. The golden sheen variety layers that warm metallic flash over a deep, near-charcoal body color, making it visually unlike the blue-flash labradorite most people know.
In the Parted Water collection, this stone arrives as a dramatic doublet — assembled with a black backing stone and hand-carved into SARDA's Mer02 mermaid silhouette. At 51x34mm and 78.2 ctw, it is one of the largest focal stones in this drop. Mohs hardness is 6–6.5: beautiful for pendants, but keep it away from abrasive surfaces and harsh cleaners. Store it separately and clean with a soft damp cloth. Learn more at the International Gem Society.
Find it in the Parted Water Pendant™ in Golden Sheen Labradorite.
Rhodonite — Rose-Pink with Drama
Named from the Greek rhodon (rose), rhodonite is a manganese silicate celebrated for its vivid rose-to-strawberry-pink body color and the bold black manganese-oxide veining that runs through it. The contrast of saturated pink against inky black gives rhodonite a graphic, confident character that stands alone on the wrist or neckline.
This week's rhodonite comes from Brazil and is completely untreated — what you see is exactly what the earth produced. Like its Parted Water companion, it is carved into the same Mer02 mermaid shape at 51x34mm, but weighs an even more dramatic 106.25 ctw. At Mohs 5.5–6.5, it is moderately durable but benefits from gentle handling: wipe with a soft damp cloth, avoid hard knocks, and skip the ultrasonic cleaner. Learn more at the International Gem Society.

Paraiba Mother of Pearl Quartz — Iridescence, Elevated
The signature stone of this week's Sees My Worth collection, Paraiba Mother of Pearl Quartz is a composite triplet: a quartz cap, a mother-of-pearl core, and a carefully dyed Paraiba-teal coloring that produces an electrifying blue-green shimmer. The result is a stone that catches light like ocean water — luminous, shifting, and unlike anything produced by a single mineral alone.
Sourced from China, these stones are oval rose-cut cabochons ranging from 14x10mm to 18x13mm (5.27–11.48 ctw) and appear across the Sees My Worth cuff bracelets, multi-stone bracelet, rings, and pendant. Because it is a triplet construction, avoid soaking or prolonged water exposure — moisture can weaken the bond between layers. Clean with a lightly damp cloth and store flat. Mohs is approximately 7 at the quartz cap, but the pearl layer underneath is softer — treat these pieces with corresponding care. Learn more at the International Gem Society.
Amazonite — Cool Waters from Peru
Named for the Amazon River (though today's commercial deposits are found elsewhere), amazonite is a potassium feldspar prized for its cool blue-green to teal color — calm, open, and quietly striking. This week's stones come from Peru and are stabilized for consistent color and improved durability, a standard and accepted treatment that does not significantly alter the stone's natural appearance.
Cut as large oval cabochons — up to 18x13mm and 9.5 ctw — amazonite gives the Sees My Worth rings a bold, architectural presence. At Mohs 6–6.5, it is durable enough for everyday rings with reasonable care: avoid hard impacts, use mild soap and water for cleaning, and store away from harder stones. Learn more at GIA.
Rainbow Moonstone — Soft Light on Every Move
Rainbow moonstone earns its name with adularescence — a billowing, floating light effect that moves across the surface like moonlight on still water. Technically a variety of labradorite feldspar rather than orthoclase moonstone, its near-colorless white body lets the blue-white shimmer radiate clearly. These stones come from India and are completely untreated, round cabochons at 7mm. They appear across the Sees My Worth multi-stone bracelet, pendant, and earrings — adding a cool, dreamy contrast to the deeper teal of the Paraiba quartz.
At Mohs 6–6.5, rainbow moonstone is moderately durable. It can cleave under sharp impact, so avoid hard knocks. Clean gently with mild soap and a soft cloth; store separately from harder stones. Learn more at GIA.
The Searching Completed Stones — A Full-Spectrum Bypass Suite
The Searching Completed collection brings six gemstones across its bypass rings and multi-stone pendant — a curated palette designed to mix, layer, and stack. Each stone is cut in a faceted marquise that makes color pop from every angle.
- Amethyst (Brazil, heat-treated) — February's birthstone; a rich purple quartz, 12x6mm marquise, 1.7 ctw. Mohs 7. GIA
- Garnet (Mozambique, no treatment) — A deep, saturated red, untreated, 12x6mm marquise, 1.49 ctw. Mohs 6.5–7.5. GIA
- Blue Topaz and London Blue Topaz (Brazil, irradiated) — Irradiation is the industry-standard method for producing blue topaz from colorless rough; London Blue is the deepest shade. 12x6mm, 1.9 ctw each. Mohs 8. GIA
- Swiss Blue Topaz (Brazil, irradiated) — A medium, sky-bright blue topaz, 10x5mm marquise. Mohs 8.
- Peridot (China, no treatment) — The lime-green olivine; August's birthstone, 10x5mm marquise, 1.11 ctw. Mohs 6.5–7. GIA
Caring for This Week's Stones
This drop spans a wide range of stone types, so care varies by piece:
- Paraiba Mother of Pearl Quartz (triplet construction): Never soak or use ultrasonic cleaners — moisture weakens the bond. Wipe gently with a barely damp cloth.
- Rhodonite, Labradorite, Amazonite, Rainbow Moonstone (Mohs 5.5–6.5): Mild soap and soft cloth. No abrasives. Store away from harder stones.
- Amethyst, Garnet, Peridot (Mohs 6.5–7.5): Safe for gentle brushing with mild soap; avoid ultrasonic for treated stones.
- Blue Topaz varieties (Mohs 8): The hardest of the week — safe for light brushing, but irradiated color can fade in prolonged direct sunlight.
- All sterling silver benefits from occasional polishing. See our full jewelry care guide for tips.
