“If we seek clarity in our thoughts and words, then we foster deeper connections, allowing nothing but the truth to resonate within and between us.”
Kyanite beads exhibit a stunning deep blue color, often characterized by a unique chatoyant effect that adds depth and dimension. This fascinating mineral comes from the aluminosilicate group and forms in metamorphic rocks. Kyanite’s vibrant hues and striking appearance make it a favorite among jewelry makers seeking to create eye-catching pieces.
Kyanite forms under high-pressure conditions in metamorphic environments, typically from the alteration of clay minerals. Its distinct blue color arises from trace amounts of iron and titanium within the crystal structure. The formation process can produce elongated crystals that display a remarkable chatoyancy—a visual effect where a band of light appears to move across the surface when viewed from different angles.
Kyanite beads serve as popular choices in jewelry design due to their captivating colors and unique textures. Artisans often cut these beads into various shapes, such as rounds, nuggets, or faceted forms, to enhance their natural beauty. Kyanite pairs well with metals like silver or gold, creating elegant and stylish pieces. Its chatoyant quality adds a layer of intrigue, making kyanite jewelry an appealing option for those who appreciate distinctive accessories.
Historically, kyanite has been valued for its metaphysical properties. Many cultures regard it as a stone of harmony and balance, promoting communication and self-expression. Some believe that kyanite can help align the chakras, fostering emotional healing and spiritual growth. Additionally, its deep blue color symbolizes wisdom, loyalty, and trust, making it a meaningful choice for those seeking to enhance their connections with others.
Kyanite is primarily mined in countries like Brazil, the United States, and India. The mining process involves extracting the mineral from metamorphic rock formations. After extraction, artisans cut and polish the stones to create beautiful beads. Kyanite beads find applications in jewelry, crafts, and decorative items, showcasing their striking color and unique chatoyant effects in various creative projects.

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. Oathfeed Classic Design
