Russian Amazonite Information

Russian amazonite beads feature a vibrant blue-green color. These striking beads come from the Ural Mountains in Russia.

Formation

Amazonite forms in granite pegmatites. The unique color arises from the presence of lead and water within the mineral structure. As the mineral crystallizes, it creates the bright blue-green hue that characterizes these beads.

Fashion and Jewelry

Russian amazonite beads enhance various jewelry designs. Artisans create necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that showcase their vivid colors. The beads add a pop of color to any outfit and appeal to fashion-forward individuals.

History, Mythology, and Symbolism

In ancient cultures, amazonite held significant meaning. People believed it provided protection and harmony. The bright color symbolizes hope and positivity, making it a popular choice in spiritual practices.

Mining, Production, and Applications

Miners extract amazonite from the Ural Mountains. Russian amazonite is rare and highly valued for its quality and color. Craftspeople polish and shape the beads for use in jewelry and decorative items.

Russian amazonite beads represent beauty and strength. Their captivating color and rich history make them a favorite among collectors and jewelry lovers alike.

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.

Weight Priciples

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.
