Precious stones – beauty, durability and timeless elegance

Gemstones have fascinated humans for thousands of years. Their color, luster, and rarity make them natural carriers of emotion, symbolism, and permanence. At Schalins Ringar, we work with natural gemstones, carefully selected for their quality, durability, and aesthetic balance – always with respect for the craftsmanship and the inherent value of the material.

When choosing a gemstone ring, it's not just the appearance that matters. Hardness, durability and origin are crucial factors in how the stone functions in everyday life and over generations.

Mohs hardness scale – why it matters

One of the most important characteristics of a gemstone is its hardness, which is measured on the Mohs hardness scale . The scale ranges from 1 to 10 and indicates how resistant the stone is to scratches.

• 1–5 : Soft stones, sensitive to wear
• 6–7 : Medium-hard rocks, require some caution
• 8–10 : Very hard stones, suitable for everyday use

For rings – especially engagement and wedding rings – high hardness is an important part of long-term durability. Rings that will be used as cocktail rings and on special occasions also suit softer stones.

The gemstones in Schalin's collections

Diamond – the ultimate symbol of permanence

Mohs hardness: 10

Diamond is nature's hardest material and a classic in rings to be worn every day. Its exceptional durability is combined with a unique play of light that provides maximum brilliance. At Schalins, we use diamonds carefully selected for their color, clarity and cut from suppliers who can guarantee traceability and have approved certification.

Sapphire – color, strength and character

Mohs hardness: 9

Sapphires are known for their deep blue color, but they also come in many other shades. Thanks to their high hardness, sapphires are an excellent choice for rings that will last over time. Sapphires symbolize wisdom, loyalty and security – values ​​that harmonize well with Schalin's design language.
