Carnelian Information
Carnelian, a striking variety of chalcedony, boasts warm, vibrant hues that range from deep red to orange. This gemstone forms when silica-rich waters cool and settle within sedimentary rock layers. Its smooth texture and translucent quality enhance its appeal, making it a favorite among jewelry enthusiasts and collectors.
Fashion and Jewelry
Jewelry designers frequently incorporate carnelian into various pieces, such as necklaces, bracelets, and rings. The rich, warm tones of carnelian create a bold pop of color, making it an excellent choice for statement jewelry. Additionally, it pairs beautifully with metals like silver and gold, offering versatile styling options. Wearers often choose carnelian for both casual and formal occasions, appreciating its ability to elevate any outfit. Artisans also craft decorative items from carnelian, such as carvings and beads, showcasing the stone’s versatility as a material.
History, Mythology, and Symbolism
Carnelian holds rich historical significance and features prominently in various myths. Ancient Egyptians valued carnelian for its protective qualities, often placing it in tombs to safeguard the deceased in the afterlife. Cultures around the world associate carnelian with courage, passion, and motivation. Many believe the stone stimulates creativity and boosts confidence, making it a popular choice among artists and those seeking inspiration. Additionally, individuals often use carnelian during meditation to ground themselves and enhance focus.
Mining, Production, and Applications
Miners primarily extract carnelian in countries like India, Brazil, and Madagascar, where they carefully harvest the stone from riverbeds and quarries. Skilled craftsmen then cut, polish, and shape carnelian into various forms for jewelry and decorative uses. Its durability and ease of handling make it suitable for carving intricate designs and shapes. Beyond its decorative applications, carnelian plays a significant role in alternative healing practices, where practitioners believe it promotes vitality and emotional balance.

Care Guide
-
Cleaning: Gently wipe the beads and metal components with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, lightly dampen the cloth with water, but avoid soaking the earrings. Use a soft toothbrush for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions.
-
Storage: Store earrings in a dry, cool place, ideally in a fabric-lined jewelry box or pouch to protect them from dust and scratches. When not in use, keep earrings separate from other jewelry to prevent abrasions. Avoid storing in damp or humid environments.
-
Metal Care: The black-coated hypoallergenic copper ear wires, darkened pins, and zinc alloy components may gradually tarnish with time. Clean these parts gently using a jewelry cloth designed for metals. Avoid using abrasive cloths or cleaning agents that could damage the finish. To minimize tarnishing, store your earrings in a dry, airtight container when not in use.
-
Stone Care: Each semi-precious stone and bead (such as tiger’s eye, onyx, jasper, and others) can be sensitive to extreme temperatures or moisture. Keep earrings away from perfume, lotions, and harsh chemicals. Use a soft cloth to wipe the beads clean and avoid abrasive materials that could scratch or dull the surface of the stones.
-
Durability: While the materials are generally sturdy, avoid wearing earrings in situations where they could be subjected to excessive pressure, such as sleeping, exercising, or heavy impacts. Regular wear should be fine, but always handle the earrings with care to maintain their beauty and longevity.
Size Guide
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab. Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
