Description
The original design of the LOU ring features three natural multicolored stones crafted into cylindrical shapes, appearing to nestle and protect each other. Its gold band, available in either 9 or 18 karats, embraces two of them – one of carnelian agate (25*9mm) and the other of onyx –, while the smallest, crafted from green aventurine, rests delicately above them, casting a captivating shadow.
The distinct fusion of colors, materials, and shapes creates a serene allure, radiating positivity and vitality, thus making this ring to a symbol of refined style and exclusivity.
Each LOU ring is unique due to the natural variations in its gemstones and the craftsmanship involved in its creation. Hence, slight discrepancies in measurements and appearance may be observed between the images displayed on our website and the piece you receive upon purchase.

My visit to Belén Bajo’s studio during Christmas 2021 is still vivid in my mind. The studio was beautifully decorated with vibrant colors and textures, perfectly harmonized with Belén’s jewelry designs. Under the watchful gaze of Lola, an enchanting mannequin that seems to come to life with her captivating beauty, Belén and her team guided me through her latest collections, and each piece emanated energy and positivity.
During our conversation, Belén shared her journey from Fine Arts to jewelry design, drawing inspiration from art and nature. Discovering the stories behind certain stones deepened my appreciation. Now, I cherish Belén’s jewelry not only for its design, but also for the love and care she infuses into each piece, as I witnessed during my enchanting visit.

MATERIALS:
Gold 9k or 18k: Pure gold, which is 24 karats, is a soft metal. To increase its hardness, it is mixed with other metals through a process known as “alloying.” 18-karat gold contains 75% pure gold and 25% a mix of silver and copper. 9-karat gold contains 37.5% pure gold and 62.5% silver and copper.
Quartz is a mineral composed of silica that is present in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It is the most abundant mineral in the Earth’s crust, and its name derives from the German word quartz, meaning “hard.”
Green Quartz or Aventurine is a variety of quartz that owes its green color to the presence of green mica inclusions. It occurs in magmatic rocks and originates from South Africa.
Carnelian agate, also known as cornelian, is a variety of agate. It has a reddish color ranging from orange to brown due to the presence of iron oxide. It has been used as a gemstone in jewelry making since ancient Greek and Roman times. Deposits can be found in many places around the world, including Brazil, the United States, Madagascar, and Mongolia.
Onyx is a variety of black agate, composed of silica, of volcanic origin. Its name comes from the Latin word ‘onyx,’ which means ‘nail.’ According to Greek legend, Eros cut the divine nails of Aphrodite and scattered them on the sand, turning them into stone to preserve their power.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: It’s important to care for and protect your jewelry from knocks and scratches. To prevent scratching, store your pieces separately in a box or jewelry case where they won’t come into contact with each other.
Additionally, keep your jewelry in a dry place away from direct sunlight, as many natural stones are delicate and can deteriorate if not properly cared for.
Soaps, detergents, creams, and perfumes can damage both the metal and natural stones. Therefore, it’s best to avoid using these products while wearing your jewelry.
Special care is recommended for 18k gold-plated jewelry. Gently clean the piece with a microfiber cloth, avoiding the use of coarse fabrics. As with all jewelry, avoid contact between the metal and makeup, perfumes, creams, detergents, gels, and cleaning products in general. Sweat can also damage the plating, so it’s best to avoid wearing your jewelry while exercising.
Always store your jewelry in a case or jewelry box, protected from sunlight and moisture, to prevent oxidation.
By following these guidelines, the gold plating on your jewelry will last longer. However, please note that plating is a thin layer of 18k gold covering silver, not a solid surface. Over time, the jewelry may need to be replated, which is a common occurrence with any piece from any luxury brand.
