Bel e Viv

The honeycomb is a signature BY TONIN emblem that appears throughout the Bel e Viv collection. Drawn from nature, its hexagonal structure represents harmony, balance, and the interconnectedness of family. It serves as a geometric anchor for the collection’s deeper meaning.

Lapis Lazuli was selected for its rich history and vibrant blue pigment. Historically a stone of wisdom and strength, it perfectly complements the tribute to our mums, Maribel and Viviane. In Bel e Viv, the stone acts as a focal point of clarity and calm within the structured metalwork.

As a natural stone, Lapis Lazuli should be handled with care. To preserve its deep blue colour and the surrounding 18k gold plating, we recommend avoiding contact with water, detergents, and perfumes. Simply wipe the stone with a soft, dry cloth after wear to maintain its natural radiance.

Given that Bel e Viv is a direct tribute to mothers, it is one of our most meaningful choices for Mother’s Day or significant family milestones. The combination of the honeycomb (connection) and Lapis Lazuli (wisdom) makes it an exceptionally thoughtful gift for the women who guide us.

Those unique markings are the true "fingerprints" of the earth, proving your stone is a natural, untreated gift from the natural world. Lapis Lazuli isn't just one mineral; it’s a celestial-looking rock made of several, and those flecks are what give the Bel e Viv pieces their soulful, "lived-in" character.

The Gold Flecks: Pyrite
The shimmering "gold" you see is actually Pyrite (iron sulfide).

• The Connection: These golden specks are particularly special in the Bel e Viv collection because they create a natural, effortless harmony with our 18k gold honeycomb settings.
• The Meaning: It creates the effect of a starry night sky. We see these inclusions as a "celestial map," reflecting the guidance and light that our mothers, Maribel and Viviane, represent.

The White Streaks: Calcite
If you notice white veins, clouds, or marbling, that is Calcite.

• The Look: Calcite provides a soft, organic contrast to the deep indigo of the Lapis. It can look like delicate clouds against a blue sky or a shifting sea.
• The Quality: While mass-produced jewellery often uses dyed or "reconstituted" blue plastic to achieve a flat, solid colour, BY TONIN celebrates these white veins. They prove the stone’s authenticity and ensure your piece has its own unique, "measured expression" of beauty.
