FULLY TRACEABLE GEMSTONES

From the mine to the case
Therefore, in order to honour its commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly jewellery, Rosa Maïtea has explored the path of traceability. By dint of research and perseverance, we have identified a sector offering all the guarantees of traceability of stones, from the mine to the jewel: name of the mine, country of origin, cutting and creation workshops.
THE FULLY TRACEABLE ROSA MAÏTEA GEMSTONES ARE: SPINELS AND GARNETS FROM TANZANIA, TOURMALINE FROM NAMIBIA.
FROM TANZANIA
PRECIOUS SPELS

Coming from mines in Tanzania, spinel is said to have a double etymology both Greek: "spark" and Latin: "spina", which means "thorn". It is an oxide of aluminum and magnesium colored by the presence of iron, chromium, cobalt or vanadium. It is found in white, saffron yellow, sky blue, navy, indigo, red, crimson red, orange and black. The symbolism of spinel is associated with courage and power.

If gold and diamonds can be recycled, why don't we recycle gemstones? Simply not, they are very fragile and cannot be crimmed with the right tools without breaking. So, now that we know the mines of origin, we set up partnerships with local actors and make our contribution to improving the living conditions of the miners.
LOTS OF COLORS
TANZANIA GARNETS

They also come from Tanzania. The term "Garnet" comes from the Latin "malum granatum" meaning "grain apple, pomegranate" for its color and the Latin "granum" meaning "grain" for its shape. Garnet has many properties, bringing joie de vivre, energy, courage and self-confidence. It is associated with the power of willpower and success.

Garnet exists in a farandole of colors through its different incarnations: spessartites ranging from deep blue to light gray, rhodolites from almost purple red to baby pink, and tsavorites to deep, changing greens.

ORIGINALLY FROM NAMIBIA
LES TOURMALINES

Tourmaline has an intriguing etymology, mixing the Greek "tourmalos" meaning "attractive stone" and the Sinhalese "turamali" which evokes "stones of mixed colors". Rosa Maïtea chooses it in its bewitching emerald green and delicate pink versions. Tourmaline, a stone with a thousand facets, is believed to have powers of harmonization and protection, as well as an ability to bring emotional balance.
