Care Guide
Durability
- Chrome Diopside Beads: Chrome diopside is a semi-precious stone with a hardness of 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale. While relatively durable, it is prone to scratching and chipping if not handled carefully. Diopside’s color can be sensitive to prolonged exposure to sunlight, which may cause the stone to fade over time. Avoid dropping or subjecting the earrings to heavy impacts.
- Antique Copper-Style Brass Findings: Brass is sturdy, but like all metals, it can tarnish with time. The antique copper finish may wear away with repeated exposure to moisture and oils from your skin. To maintain the appearance of the metal, regular cleaning and storage are recommended.
Suitability
- Casual Wear: The striking green color of Chrome Diopside makes it perfect for adding a touch of elegance to everyday outfits. These earrings are especially suited to casual settings, where the vibrant color can be a beautiful accent.
- Special Occasions: While not as formal as some other gemstones, Chrome Diopside is still a great choice for occasions requiring a pop of color, especially in evening or cocktail wear. Due to its relatively softer nature, it is best reserved for special occasions where the earrings won’t be exposed to wear and tear.
Storage
- Keep the earrings in a soft pouch, jewelry box, or hermetic bag to protect the diopside beads from scratches and to prevent tarnishing of the brass findings.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to avoid fading or damaging the color of the diopside.
- Ensure the earrings are stored in a way that avoids pressure or friction to keep both the beads and findings safe.
Cleaning
- Chrome Diopside Beads: Clean the beads with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, lightly dampen the cloth to remove any dust or smudges. Be cautious when cleaning to avoid scratching the surface of the stone. Do not immerse the beads in water or use harsh chemicals, as this may damage the stone.
- Brass Findings: Use a jewelry polishing cloth to clean the brass findings and maintain their finish. Brass may tarnish over time, so regular cleaning will help preserve its appearance. For more stubborn tarnish, a mild brass cleaner can be used, but always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- General Care: Avoid exposing Chrome Diopside to harsh chemicals, cosmetics, or perfumes, as these may damage the stone or the metal components. Additionally, keep the earrings away from water to prevent tarnishing of the brass and to protect the diopside’s luster.
General Care Tips
- Handle the earrings with care, especially since diopside can be prone to scratching or chipping.
- Remove the earrings before engaging in activities that may expose them to moisture, such as swimming, showering, or exercising.
- When wearing the earrings, keep them away from abrasive surfaces to protect the stone’s surface.

Size Guide
Oathfeed Classic Two-Bead Design
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.
On Earrings’ Weight Principles
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 general description or “dimensions” tab.
Diopside
Chrome Diopside – The Emerald of the Northern Lights
Chrome diopside forms deep within the Earth, where intense heat and pressure crystallize silica, calcium, and magnesium into vibrant green stones. The addition of chromium gives this gemstone its striking emerald-like hue, reminiscent of lush forests and auroras. Found primarily in Siberia, Russia, chrome diopside often emerges from icy, remote landscapes where miners carefully extract it during the brief summer months.
After mining, artisans transform rough chrome diopside into dazzling cabochons or facets, revealing its natural brilliance and making it accessible to jewelry lovers worldwide.
Etymology
The name “diopside” comes from the Greek words di (twice) and opsis (vision), referencing the dual appearance of its crystal faces. The prefix “chrome” highlights the chromium element responsible for its vivid green color.
Chrome diopside belongs to the pyroxene group of minerals and shares characteristics with:
- Black Star Diopside: Known for its asterism, a star-like pattern visible under light.
- Violan: A rare blue variety of diopside found in metamorphic rocks.
Despite its beauty, chrome diopside remains softer than many gemstones, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5-6.
Cosmic Junction
Chrome diopside carries a mystique tied to its Siberian origins. Indigenous Siberian tribes revered green stones like diopside as symbols of life and fertility, believing they connected wearers to the Earth’s nurturing energy. The stone was often used in ceremonies to honor nature spirits and invoke a bountiful harvest.
In metaphysical traditions, chrome diopside resonates with the heart chakra, encouraging emotional healing and compassion. Its connection to nature makes it a symbol of renewal and growth, offering balance and harmony in times of change.
Astrologers often associate chrome diopside with Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enhancing creativity, relationships, and self-worth. The stone is also linked to Taurus, known for its grounding energy and love of natural beauty.
