Mystery Stone
Mia Aurei, a distinguished jewelry designer and certified gemologist (GIA GG, GP, AJP), invites you to explore the world of gemstones through her series "Mystery Stone." Since 2025, she has captivated audiences on TikTok and beyond with her insightful gem identification process and soothing presentation style. Join her exploration of the captivating world of gems.
All started on TikTok
The gem identification series began on TikTok in January 2025. After visiting a local tradeshow in the Los Angeles area, I selected a bag of "Mystery stones" from a German dealer.
"Go ahead and pick whatever looks right to you," he said.
As a gemologist, I took full advantage of this opportunity and helped myself. After searching for nearly 45 minutes, I returned home with a bag full of surprises.
Other Platforms
Following its tremendous success on TikTok, the Mystery Stone series is now showcased on other popular platforms like YouTube and Instagram.
The "Identified" Gems
"What will you do with all these stones?"
As a jewelry designer, I am excited to create designs featuring these beautiful stones. Yet, they are also exquisite on their own. Since my content leans towards gemological education, I prefer to sell them individually to jewelers, educators, artists, or anyone who has fallen in love with these beauties.
