FAQ

Is the collection available to order?

Yes. The first Yurua collection is available now. You can browse all current pieces on the Shop page and order directly from each product page.

What do the stones actually do?

They hold still — which is rarer and more useful than it sounds. A stone you choose deliberately and put on every morning makes an intention physical and repeated, and that is how intentions have always been made to stick. People have worn amethyst for calm and citrine for new beginnings for centuries, and they were not being foolish. What you get is an object that does not change, carrying something that matters to you, close to the body, every day. That is the whole idea, and it is real. It is also jewellery rather than medicine — more on that under Stones & Materials.

How old are the stones?

Older than anything useful to compare them to. Brazil's classic amethyst geodes sit inside volcanic rock around 135 million years old — basalt left behind when South America and Africa separated. The crystals grew afterwards, slowly, from warm water moving through the cavity. There is more on the About page.

Where do the stones come from?

Brazil. Amethyst, citrine and green amethyst (prasiolite) from Brazilian quartz. Where a stone is commonly heat-treated (notably citrine and prasiolite), we say so in plain language on the product page.

Where does the name Yurua come from?

From the Juruá, a river that runs more than three thousand kilometres through the western Amazon before joining the Solimões. Slow, patient water that carries what it gathers a very long way. You can read more on the About page.

What is the Yurua Community?

The Yurua Community is for people who want to stay close to the brand — new pieces, stone stories, studio notes and early access to future small releases. It is free to join and it is not a waitlist. Join the community here.

Is the metal solid or plated?

Solid only. 18 karat gold (750) or sterling silver (925). We do not use vermeil, gold fill or plating for our pieces.

Who is this for?

People who want real fine jewellery with a reason behind it. Most pieces are bought to wear yourself, close and often. Gifts are welcome; they are not the lead story.

Where do you ship?

Shipping methods, destination availability and delivery estimates for your order are shown during checkout.

Can I return a piece?

Yes, at any time and without giving a reason — including pierced earrings and pieces that have been worn. Email info@yuruahealing.com with your order number and we will send you the return address; the refund goes to your original payment method once the piece is back. The full terms are in our refund policy.

How should I care for gemstone jewellery?

Store pieces separately, avoid impact and contact with perfume or household chemicals, and remove jewellery before swimming, sport or showering. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
