About the gemstone

Aventurine is a type of translucent quartz that garners its various hues from inclusions. Aventurine’s name is born from the Italian word for “by luck” or “chance,” and its lush green shade evokes the gradient of a 4-leaf clover.
MOHs Hardness: 7
Origins: Various
Care: To keep your green aventurine clean, use warm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush or cloth. Do not use a steam cleaner or ultrasonic cleaner. Avoid chemicals, excessive direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and direct contact with other gemstones (it can wear down the stone).
Healing Properties: Green aventurine is believed to promote vitality, growth, and confidence.

The Story of Vanity

Celebrating the often discouraged act of adorning oneself, the Vanity collection combines glamour with grit, and naturalistic curiosities with industrial elements. Growing up in a world that said a desire to be beautiful was vain, Hannah learned through time and her artwork that connecting to beauty is an ultimate form of empowerment. The one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces of the Vanity collection incorporate Hannah’s love of atypical gemstones and prong settings. The gemstones found in Vanity are hand-selected for their obvious beauty, but more often for what makes them more obscure: vibrancy in unexpected hues, garish silhouettes, and striking inclusions that deem them traditionally flawed. But it is through their perfect imperfections that Hannah is given a canvas to celebrate her love of making, design, beauty, and unbridled creativity. Contrasting delicacy with severity and subtlety with singularity, the Vanity collection is a love story to femininity and ardent self-love. Shop the full Vanity Collection.
