Iolite Jewelry by Variance Objects

Iolite Jewelry

Blue-violet iolite changes as it moves through the light. Variance cuts each stone to make that natural shift part of the finished piece.

About Iolite

Iolite can move from inky blue to violet and grey depending on its orientation. Rather than forcing every piece into the same calibrated shape, we study the rough and cut for the color and direction already present in the stone.

That makes every Iolite ring, pendant and pair of earrings individual. Variations in tone and transparency are part of the material, not something we try to remove. Read more in our Iolite history and mythology.

Sourced with Intention

Ethical Gemstones

We use Kimberly Process certified diamonds and traceable colored gems from trusted, family-run sources.

Recycled Precious Metals

Most of our precious metals are recycled, but not all. Our unique handmade process lends itself to less waste and less toxicity.

Respect for the Rough

All our colored gemstones are cut from rough stones. We highlight the rough beauty of each stone with a focus on color variation, rough formation and natural textures.
