The Founder’s Grove Stone is the heart of our studio — a massive 110mm Bloodstone sphere chosen as a personal heirloom piece and a symbol of where GroveTop Studio began.
For guests who wish to own one, we offer a custom-selected twin that reflects the same colors, character, and meaning. Your GroveStone will be shipped directly to you.
This extraordinary specimen showcases the classic deep forest-green body of true Bloodstone, streaked with dramatic red bands and earthy inclusions that feel almost ancient in their character. Rotating the sphere reveals shifting landscapes of mossy depths, storm-gray veining, and striking red jasper-like flashes — a reminder of the raw, powerful geology that shaped it.
To us, this stone represents the spirit of the Grove: strength, rootedness, legacy, and renewal. It sits at the center of our workspace beneath the old oaks that inspired the GroveTop name, grounding us creatively and reminding us why we craft pieces with intention and authenticity.
Whether you’re browsing for a stone of your own or simply curious about the pieces that inspire us, the Founder’s Grove Stone stands as a marker of the journey that led here — and the path still unfolding.

GroveTop FAQ
What are your metal integrity tests?
We take quality seriously, so each piece undergoes a series of real-world tests. We perform a vinegar test to simulate sweat exposure, a saltwater test to check resistance to corrosion, and a chlorine test to ensure durability around pool water. These tests help ensure that your jewelry is made to last in everyday conditions.
Where do your stones originate?
We source our stones from a variety of trusted suppliers around the world, focusing on quality and unique character. Many of our stones come from regions renowned for their natural beauty, and we hand-select each one to ensure it complements our designs. Whether it’s amethyst, jasper, or quartz, every stone has its own story and is chosen to bring a little extra joy from the grove to you.
Where is your wood sourced from?
We carefully select our wood from a blend of meaningful places. Much of it is olive wood sourced from Bethlehem, carrying a rich heritage. We also work with skilled artisans here in the U.S. to incorporate locally sourced woods. Each piece is chosen to reflect both the natural beauty and the heartfelt craftsmanship that we stand for.
METAL CARE, MAINTENANCE, & SAFETY
To maintain the beauty and integrity of your purchase, we recommend treating it with care. Simple maintenance practices, such as routine gentle polishing (especially 925 silver) and proper storage, can effectively preserve the longevity of your favorite pieces.
We highly recommend you review our Jewelry Care & Safety blog article.
SHIPPING & RETURNS
We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible. Need to return something? Just let us know.
What size are your Celtic pendants?
Each of our signature Celtic pendants is crafted to a comfortable, medium-scale size that’s ideal for everyday wear. The standard Celtic Cross design measures approximately 50mm (1.97 inches) tall and 30mm (1.18 inches) wide — about the size of a U.S. half dollar or two stacked quarters side by side.
This balanced scale allows the pieces to be large enough to showcase intricate knotwork, yet subtle enough to wear daily on a chain or keychain.
What are the chain styles?
You can view our blog entry on the various chain styles and determine which one may be most suitable for your piece.
