About Our Stones

At PANDORA, we only use real gemstones, with only one special exception – zirconia. Zirconia are synthetic diamond-like stones.

Every stone we use has a special designation. The combination of letters at the end of each item number is an abbreviation for the stones used, for example RU stands for ruby, D for diamond, AM for amethyst etc.

Below, you will find all the abbreviations and brief descriptions of the stones to which they refer.
