K2 Granite Information
K2 granite beads showcase a stunning blend of granite and azurite. These unique beads feature a predominantly gray or white base with striking blue spots.
Formation
K2 granite forms in the K2 mountain range, located in the Himalayas. This granite consists of feldspar and quartz, providing strength. The blue azurite inclusions arise from copper deposits within the granite. Over time, weathering exposes the azurite, creating the distinctive blue patterns.
Fashion and Jewelry
K2 granite beads offer versatility in jewelry design. Artisans create necklaces, bracelets, and earrings using these striking beads. The unique color combinations enhance any outfit, making them a popular choice among jewelry enthusiasts.
History, Mythology, and Symbolism
K2 granite holds significance in various cultures. Some believe it promotes mental clarity and spiritual growth. The blue azurite is associated with communication and intuition, making K2 beads spiritually potent.
Mining, Production, and Applications
Miners extract K2 granite from the K2 mountain region. Due to its remote location, this granite is rare and highly sought after. Craftspeople cut and polish the granite into beautiful beads for jewelry.
K2 granite beads combine beauty and meaning, making them a cherished addition to any collection. Their unique composition and striking appearance appeal to those who appreciate nature’s artistry.

Care Guide
Handling
- Gentle Handling: While the K2 granite beads are durable, they can still chip if handled roughly or dropped. Handle the earrings by the hooks to minimize direct contact with the stone.
- Avoid Abrasive Surfaces: The speckled texture of K2 granite can be scratched or damaged by abrasive surfaces, so avoid placing the earrings on rough or hard materials.
Cleaning
- K2 Granite Beads: To clean, wipe the beads gently with a soft cloth to remove dust or oils. You can use a slightly dampened cloth (water only) for stubborn dirt, but avoid soaking the beads. Dry them immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent moisture buildup.
- PVD-plated Stainless Steel Hooks: Clean the stainless steel hooks with a microfiber cloth to maintain their shine. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to clean the hooks, then dry them completely.
Storage
- Safe Storage: Store your K2 granite earrings in a soft pouch or jewelry box to protect the beads from scratches. A padded container will also help prevent any pressure that could potentially crack or damage the stone.
- Avoid Excessive Heat or Moisture: Keep the earrings in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as extreme conditions may affect both the stone and the PVD-plated hooks.
Chemical Exposure
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose the K2 granite beads or the PVD-plated hooks to chemicals, perfumes, lotions, or abrasive cleaning products. These substances can damage the finish of the stone or tarnish the metal.
- Swimming and Showering: Remove your earrings before swimming or showering to protect both the stone and metal components from water and chlorine exposure.
Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Check the earrings for any signs of wear, including fading or peeling of the PVD-plated finish or cracks in the K2 granite beads.
- Polish the Hooks: If the stainless steel hooks begin to lose their shine, gently polish them with a microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that may scratch the surface.
- Stone Care: K2 granite doesn’t require much maintenance but can be polished gently with a soft cloth to restore any lost luster. Avoid using hard brushes or abrasive cloths that could damage the surface.
By following these easy steps, your K2 Granite Earrings will remain beautiful, allowing you to enjoy the unique look of the stone and the durability of the hypoallergenic stainless steel hooks 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.
