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. Thus, 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
Durability
- K2 Granite Beads: K2 granite is a combination of granite and blue azurite, offering a striking appearance with a solid texture. It is fairly durable but can be susceptible to chips or fractures if dropped or impacted. The blue azurite spots can be more delicate, so handling with care is recommended.
- Antique Copper-Style Brass Findings: Brass is sturdy and strong but can tarnish over time, especially when exposed to moisture or chemicals. It will gradually develop a patina, which can be polished away to restore its original look.
Suitability
- Casual Wear: These earrings are versatile enough for everyday wear, giving a unique and natural feel to casual outfits. Their earthy, bold appearance pairs well with relaxed, bohemian, or nature-inspired styles.
- Special Occasions: While these earrings have a casual vibe, their bold colors and textures can also make them suitable for semi-formal gatherings or evening wear.
Storage
- Store the earrings in a soft pouch, jewelry box, or hermetic bag to protect them from scratches and dust.
- Keep them in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture to avoid any damage to the stone or tarnishing of the brass findings.
Cleaning
- K2 Granite Beads: Clean the beads using a soft, dry cloth to wipe away any dust or oils. If necessary, dampen the cloth slightly with water to remove stubborn dirt, but avoid soaking the beads to prevent damage to the stone.
- Brass Findings: To maintain the appearance of the antique brass, clean it gently with a jewelry polishing cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can affect the finish.
- General Care: Avoid spraying perfumes, lotions, or hairspray directly onto the earrings, as these substances can damage both the K2 granite and brass findings over time.
General Care Tips
- Keep the earrings away from excessive moisture, such as swimming or showering, as it may tarnish the brass and potentially affect the granite.
- Be mindful of sudden impacts or rough handling to prevent the stone from chipping or cracking.
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.
