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. Ultimately, carnelian’s vibrant color and rich cultural history make it a beloved gemstone cherished by many.

Care Guide
Cleaning:
- Gently wipe the semi-precious stone beads (such as chalcedony, amethyst, carnelian, rose quartz, etc.) and stainless steel components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasives, or jewelry cleaners that could damage the stones or tarnish the metal.
- For stone beads, be sure to clean around the edges and grooves carefully to maintain their natural appearance without scratching their surfaces.
Bead Care:
- The beads are securely hooked onto stainless steel hooks or pins, and they are not glued. As such, they are unlikely to detach with regular use. However, always check the beads and hooks for any signs of wear or damage.
- Avoid applying excessive pressure to the beads, as this could cause them to become dislodged or damaged.
Storage:
- Store the earrings in a soft pouch, jewelry box, or separate compartment to prevent scratches on the beads and metal components. Keeping them separate from other jewelry is recommended to avoid any damage.
- When not in use, store the earrings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
Moisture & Chemicals:
- Remove earrings before swimming, bathing, or applying personal care products like perfume, hairspray, or lotions. Excessive moisture or chemicals can degrade the metal components and dull the stones’ natural luster.
Handling:
- Handle the earrings with care when putting them on or taking them off. Gently grasp the hooks to avoid bending or damaging the metal components.
- Be mindful of snagging the earrings on clothing or other objects, as this may cause the beads to shift or the hooks to bend.
Repairs (if necessary):
- In the unlikely event that a bead or metal component becomes damaged, it’s best to have the earrings professionally repaired by a jeweler. If you choose to repair them yourself, ensure you use appropriate tools and techniques to prevent further damage.
By following these care instructions, your earrings will maintain their beauty and function for a long time, allowing you to enjoy their elegance and quality for years to come.
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.
