Preseli Bluestones are the stones that were used in the building of Stonehenge
5,000 years ago and are only found in the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
We are the only company in the world licensed to extract and supply Preseli Bluestone for commercial purposes. This is the first time for Millennia that these unique and magical stones have been seen in their polished form.
Now you can own a piece of genuine Stonehenge
stone taken from its original source in the Preseli Hills.
We have polished and set these new jewels into a range of jewellery and created “The Merlin Ring” and a keyring out of solid Preseli Bluestone.

In ancient times, stones were considered to be holy and magical objects, homes to spirits and the Gods. In local Welsh legends and folklore it is said that the Preseli Bluestones possess healing and magical powers. It is no surprise then that this rare stone should be used for this Island's greatest megalithic structure - the very root of all our architecture.
