If you’re wondering, “What is the meaning of Waystone?”, the answer is both literal and symbolic.
The Origin of the Name
Waystone is a synonym for lodestone. Lodestone is a naturally occurring magnet, usually hematite or magnetite, used for sailor's compasses. In Old English, “lodestone” literally meant “way stone.” Historically, lodestones were used to make compasses, helping sailors find their direction.
Figuratively, a waystone represents something that guides you, draws people in, or points the way—perfect symbolism for our jewelry brand.
From Stones to Keepsakes
Waystone is a jewelry company dedicated to turning meaningful stones into keepsakes. The idea began when I collected stones from my wedding venue to create necklaces for my bridesmaids. Seeing how treasured these keepsakes became, we wanted to make it possible for everyone to transform personal stones into heirlooms.
Why Waystone Fits
Just like a lodestone guides a compass, Waystone jewelry serves as a reminder of the people, places, and moments that matter most. Each piece is a personal keepsake, a way to hold onto memory, and a symbol of direction in life.
Waystone isn’t just a name—it’s a promise to help you preserve what’s meaningful.
