About the editorial team — who writes the Brazi blog

We write the Brazi blog ourselves—in the workshop, between designing and setting stones.

The Brazi Druse Jewelry workshop team is behind the content on this blog: we design and make natural stone jewelry, work with the minerals we write about every day—we weigh them, set them, examine them under a magnifying glass, and answer customers’ questions in our Warsaw boutique. That’s why our articles include things you won’t find in encyclopedias: real prices, practical authenticity tests, and care advice tested on our own jewelry.

Who is behind it

The workshop and brand are run by Joanna Sobel—founder of Brazi Druse Jewelry. She designs natural stone jewelry, personally selects the minerals that make their way to the workshop and boutique, and makes sure that every piece of advice on the blog has been tested in practice. You’ll find her photo in the footer beneath every article.

How we create our content

Facts before legends—we describe mineralogy in accordance with scientific knowledge, and always label beliefs and traditions as beliefs.
No medical advice—stones are about beauty and symbolism, not therapy.
Updates—we regularly refresh our articles; you’ll find the date of the latest update beneath every text.
