So you've fallen for VooDooStone. Maybe you saw it change color in a video, or watched it shift from gold to purple in your hand at our shop on Royal Street. Now comes the fun part: choosing the piece that's right for you, and keeping it beautiful for years.
💍 Choosing Your VooDooStone
1. Decide how much color change you want to see
The bigger the stone, the more dramatic the color shift. A large ring or pendant stone shows the change clearly from across a room. Small stones, like studs, give a quieter, more personal flash of color that you'll notice up close.
2. Pick your metal
Sterling silver: cool and modern, and a wonderful everyday choice at a friendly price.
Yellow gold: warms up the stone's amber and golden tones.
White gold or black rhodium: makes the purple and green tones pop, and black rhodium gives a moody, gothic New Orleans look.
3. Choose your style
Rings: the most popular way to wear VooDooStone, because your hand is always moving through different light.
Pendants: a talisman close to the heart, easy to layer.
Earrings: studs for every day, drops for evenings.
Bracelets: a tennis or bead bracelet catches the light with every gesture.
New Orleans designs: fleur-de-lis and skull pieces that are as much about our city as the stone.
4. Think about who it's for
VooDooStone is a gift that comes with its own story. It's a favorite souvenir of a trip to New Orleans, a Mardi Gras keepsake in purple, green and gold, and a wonderful conversation piece for anyone who loves something no one else has.
🧼 Caring for Your VooDooStone
VooDooStone is a lab-created diaspore, with a hardness of about 6.5 to 7. It's durable enough to wear and enjoy every day, but like many gems it can chip if it takes a hard knock in the wrong spot. A little care keeps it looking magical.
✅ Clean it gently: warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft toothbrush. Rinse and pat dry.
✅ Store it on its own: in a soft pouch or its own compartment, so harder gems like diamonds can't scratch it.
✅ Take rings off for hard work: gardening, the gym, moving furniture and heavy cleaning.
❌ Avoid: ultrasonic and steam cleaners, harsh chemicals and sudden extreme heat.
✅ Bring it in for a check: once a year, let us look at the prongs and setting, especially on rings you wear every day.
💡 Good news: the color change never wears off. It comes from the crystal itself, so your VooDooStone will change color just as beautifully in fifty years as it does today.
