About Gnatus

"G-natus" is a Latin word, usually translated: born, made, destined, designed, intended, produced, formed by nature.

The 15 last years i have been working with the wonderful world of gemstones and little by little the jewelry for men started growing on me and now it's a big part of my life. My inspiration is the man who loves the nature's best and likes to dress comfortable and stylish.
I design, make, curate, photograph, edit, list, pack, ship all the items.
I carefully use only sources that practice fair trade in terms of their employees.
I have a partner, a master stone cutter, in Jaipur IN, who runs a stone cutting workshop that provides employment and most importantly, apprenticeships for young men. After working with him, many young men have gone on to have their own businesses and provide a living for an extended family

(In India, this can be up to 50 people).
In general, most all stones come from countries where the need is great.
I carefully use only sources that practice fair trade in terms of their employees (treatment and pay).If we can help these people reach the world market, it will help many people.
I am doing exactly what I am meant to be doing. AND loving every minute of it.

Sincerely,
Steve Christo
