Who We Are.......

We are a group of friends from Italy with the hobby of mineral collecting  that some years ago we started our  experience on the Web under the name of 'Webminerals  S.A.S.'.
Dedicated to mineral collecting now we are managing two sites:   Webmineralshop   and   Smartminerals.    Since than our activities have increased with  the partecipation to all main mineral shows in Italy and Europe, direct organization of mineral shows, collaboration with other friends to web pubblication, mineral research, studies, ecc.

Web Site Guideline

 Developing this new site we plan to increase our commercial offer, and  our general interest of course, toward those sectors which are related  to minerals and rocks but not to collecting as we are used to.  Hence we move to the area of transforming stones and minerals into objects of ornament and decoration.  

By doing this we will try to give you informations on the development of the objects that we offer for sale,hence you will be conducted along the various paths of the evolution of a stone or a mineral or a gem to become an handycraft or an artistic creation.We believe that  artistic ornamental objects have always clearly measured the degree of knowledge and   development of a culture and we will try to present as many as we can either known and less known. 

We will focus mainly,but not exclusively, on Italian handycrafts and techniques.As we do for our existing websites,we will try to give you as many informations as possible on the items that we offer for sale in order to help the understanding of the history of them and to complete the  commercial evaluation.

The website is divided into sections that deal with the various materials that we offer for sale. 

• Gems and Precious Stones:   section devoted to cut gems and stones; about gems we have worldwide and italian origin, but the cuts are made by Italian artisan friends; about cut stones we have  mainly from Italy,offered in different shapes and cuts.At this beginning the section will be focused on Paesina Stone one of the most famous cut stones from Italy and next we will increase our offer with other items.  All the pieces that we offer in this section  can be interesting  for collectors or for further transformations.

• Italian Style: In this section we have the very ambitious goal to be the window for a number of valid italian artisans and artists of precious metals and stones that need to be advertized on a larger scale. Based on the requests,we will update the objects and styles. Most of our proposals will be ornamental personal items.

• Italian Bijoux: In this section we extend the goal of the previous section to all these objects made by artisan and that have stones like subject.   All the material that we present are hand made.

• Ethnic Session: ....travelling around the world we always note that ethnic artifacts, their forms and artistic expressions are a clear mark of   the diversity of the country that we are visiting.Very often,behind the objects that we are offered there is an history that they are telling us and an artistic expression and working technique and a wearing tradition....etc. In this section we will present objects for sale, but not only..., we will try to tell you their history behind. This section will grow with time, depending on the availability of the moment.
